Explanation:

When a shoulder restraint (seatbelt) is uncomfortable and hits the neck or ear, consulting the owner's manual for belt height adjustment is a proper and safe first step. Ignoring discomfort (option b) is unsafe as it may lead to improper wearing or distraction. Removing the shoulder restraint entirely (option c) or switching to only using the lap belt (option d) reduces the safety provided by the full - harness seatbelt system. Seatbelt height adjusters are common in vehicles to ensure a proper fit.
