The plates called Plate tectonics as it is the assumption that Earth's exterior crust is split into many plates. The plates slide over the blanket and the rocky interior layer over the center. It appears like a solid and unbreakable crust in contrast to Earth's mantle.  The plates are described after the landforms discovered on them and there are nine significant plates.

Answer:

a. Slow down and allow him to pass

If you slow down your speed he can pass and a possible accident could be avoided. Refusal to allow pass results, in most cases, a sense of jealous competition, which also could result in a fatal accident, or blowing to warn also could be irritating for another driver, who could take it as umbrage and will drive even faster in pursuit. A judicious decision is to slow down your car and allow him to pass.
