statement A is wrong because of passes(plural), since the statement says a driver (singular), it should be pass(singular)
B is wrong because of passing
C is correct.
now for options D and E
if you have to choose between doing and not doing something, use "whether". If your choices are distinct, use "if". For example, if you have to choose between pursuing an MBA in India or abroad, you should write "I am wondering if I should pursue an MBA in India or abroad". If you have to choose between pursuing and not pursuing an MBA, you should write "I am wondering whether I should pursue an MBA". Also, because whether implies the "not A", you never use "or not" with whether.
