Correct answer

Detailed Explanation

This sign warns you about a soft shoulder. The dirt on the side of the road is soft. Don't leave the pavement except in an emergency. A soft shoulder is not paved and is made of gravel or packed dirt, which can cause you to lose control of your vehicle. If you must use the shoulder, reduce your speed significantly and return to the paved roadway as soon as safely possible.
