Option A - INCORRECT.
It is incorrect to say that the new system will be commercially successful. The reason is that many people may not be interested or conversant with the car system yet.

Option B - INCORRECT.
As stated above, it is false to assume that ExBenton motor company is likely to sell more cars if the system is made available to public. Definitely, most of the public will not be attracted to the car despite the new features. Those getting it will take time to do so considering the fact that they would want to understand how it works before doing so.

Option C - INCORRECT.
This is incorrect and does not support the assumption of the conclusion above. People who are unfamiliar with the new system could become distracted or confused by the light and sounds. This is untrue because, with time people will embrace it having understood how it works.

Option D - CORRECT.
This option is more accurate from the argument above. Drivers of the cars that have new system will with time understand how to respond to the flashing lights and warning sounds to avert danger.

Option E - INCORRECT.
Seemingly believing and trying to strengthen car new system with the idea of similar driver monitoring system. Thus, this have proven to improve safety in both testing and real-life conditions is absolutely wrong.
