Correct answer

A. By not using the "kick down" facility, if possible

Comment

Avoid the kick-down. The high-speed acceleration gear causes increased fuel consumption. For overtaking or merging on the freeway, however, it can be useful. With P, Parking, a vehicle with automatic transmission cannot be driven. Changing gears early to a higher gear also saves fuel.
