Answer: C: to connect an idea in the first sentence with an idea in the second sentence

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because the author is connecting the idea from the second sentence that using a seatbelt results in less injuries in a car accident to the idea in the first sentence that it is because the body cannot be flung around or moved as much, so less injuries occur

hope this helped :))
