Answer:

A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

A large force can be exerted on passengers by rapid deceleration, causing injuries. Seatbelts, crumple zones, and airbags in cars help reduce injuries in a crash by reducing momentum more gradually. Each of these features also absorbs some of the energy of the collision and transfers it into a less dangerous form.
