E, assuming by "accident rate we mean "per unit of time spent driving" or "per miles driving" rather than "by calendar time".

Also "a" does not match the other responses, unless by "driving safely" we mean nothing more than "not actually colliding with things" (and don't count against "safety" things like driving too slowly, stopping for a green light, putting on the left turn signal only after stopping in a traffic lane, and worst of all, stopping on a highway onramp to check for traffic).
