Distractions, such as sending and receiving text messages, are extremely dangerous for those driving, which is why great care should be taken to avoid any unnecessary distractions.
B
On average, text messages take 4.6 seconds to send or receive, which is a major distraction while driving and performing daily activities, especially if one sends and receives a lot of text messages throughout a day.
C
Cell phones are to blame for people who are distracted while driving, especially since studies have proven that sending or receiving a text message while driving takes an average of 4.6 seconds.
D
One major distraction that should be eliminated while driving is cell phones, as studies have shown that sending or receiving a text message diverts a driver’s attention from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds.

Explanation

Choice D connects the evidence directly to the viewpoint: texting diverts a driver’s attention from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds, supporting the claim that cell phones should be eliminated while driving. Choice B confuses the time attention is diverted with the time it takes to send or receive a text, and the other choices do not use the evidence as directly.
