Is this a trick question?

Like on my written drivers test In high school, on the final no less,

"Your car stalls on the tracks, there is no train coming. Do you?: A: run towards the train, or B: run away from the train?

[D)]

(I chose to circle the whole question, as we were not allowed to make marks on the test papers… On my answer sheet I also wrote "when train present, move towards it. When not present? Just shove the stupid car off the tracks… So, “C”, none of the above. I got yelled at for circling the question on the test paper… Then the teacher read it… His response? “Uh,… your correct…” That, was priceless. [(-D])

And it took a model RRer and railfan to see this… No one else did…
