Researchers Have Used Driving Simulators to Investigate Whether Talking on a Cellphone

Researchers have used driving simulators to investigate whether talking on a cellphone impairs the ability to drive. The published studies show that using a cellphone has a detrimental effect on attention to driving. One valid criticism of these studies is that:

A) it is common knowledge that cellphone use does not have an impact on driving ability
B) behaviour is almost impossible to predict when it involves a complex set of behaviours like driving an automobile
C) people are going to talk on cellphones while driving even if their driving ability is impaired
D) participants may not take simulated driving tasks seriously because they know there are no real consequences if their driving behaviour is poor
