Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
In this sentence, we are giving advice about how to drive. "Carefully" is an adverb that describes how to drive. When we use "more" in a comparative sense, it must be followed by the adverb in its correct form (carefully).
So the correct sentence is:
"Drive more carefully, otherwise you’ll have an accident."
"More careful" is incorrect because "careful" is an adjective, and we need an adverb here.
"Less carefully" would suggest driving with less care, which contradicts the warning in the sentence.
"Much more careful" is incorrect because "careful" is an adjective, and we need the adverb form "carefully".
