In 2020, a total of 434 people in the United States died in airplane crashes, compared to 42,052 people who died in motor vehicle accidents.

Option A is correct

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were 36,096 fatal crashes and 6.7 million crashes that resulted in injuries in 2020. The leading cause of these crashes was distracted driving, followed by speeding, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Speeding is a major cause of crashes and is a factor in about 29 percent of fatal crashes and 34 percent of injury crashes. Speeding increases the risk of losing control of your vehicle and the severity of injuries in a crash.
