It would also be wise to switch lanes and let them pass, or pull over and let them pass. You want to increase distance from the car in front of you in case the person tailgating bumps into so it doesn’t cause a pile up pretty much, or domino effect.
And the question you gave as an example, both answers are technically correct. Did you get the cheat sheet on the DMV website? If not, that’s where you need to get it from (I really didn’t need it, the practice tests on there helped me A LOT more).
