  1. Turned toward the curbAnswer
  2. B
    Turned away from the curb
  3. C
    Kept straight and parallel with the roadway edge
  4. D
    Turned toward the center of the travel lane

Answer

The front wheels should be turned toward the curb.
When parking facing downhill next to a raised curb, turning the front wheels toward the curb ensures that if the vehicle starts to roll forward, the front tire will strike the curb and stop the vehicle from entering traffic.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the grade of the street and curb presence
The vehicle is facing downhill alongside a raised curb.
Parking rules differ based on slope direction and curb existence.
2
Apply the downhill hill-parking rule
Turn the front tires to the right, toward the curb.
If the vehicle moves forward due to brake failure, the front right tire will roll into and stop against the curb.
