Explanation:

1. Option A is incorrect: outdoors during an earthquake, buildings can collapse, so you should stay away from them instead of seeking shelter near them.
2. Option C is incorrect: driving quickly during an earthquake is dangerous as roads may crack or debris can fall, you should pull over and stay in the car safely.
3. Option B is correct: indoors, windows can shatter and hanging objects can fall during shaking, so you need to move away from these hazards and take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture.
