Which statement about automatic transmission apparatus is also true?

• A. Gives you the option of selecting a gear.
• B. It gives nothing.
• C. It cannot shift.
• D. It has no gears.

Answer: (A)

Automatic transmissions still rely on a gear selector, even though the shifting is automatic. You choose a gear position—Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, and sometimes Low—and the transmission handles shifting through the gears as you drive. So, the statement that it gives you the option of selecting a gear is true because you do actively choose a gear position, while the transmission manages the actual gear changes. The other ideas don’t fit because an automatic transmission does shift and does use gears; saying it cannot shift, or that it has no gears, or that it gives nothing contradicts how these transmissions operate.
