Answer

8 seconds

Explanation

This is a safety-related question widely taught in driver’s education. The 3-second rule is a general guide in good weather conditions, which implies that one should stay at least 3 seconds behind the vehicle directly in front of them. In adverse conditions like snow, rain, or fog, the gap between vehicles should be increased. Although the exact timing could depend on driving speed and road environmental factors, among the options provided, a longer time equates to a bigger buffer distance, thus making it 'safer.' Hence, the longest time, namely 8 seconds, should be considered safest when driving in snow.
