Read the paragraph from a student's essay.

The bicycle is a common, simple form of transportation that has existed for hundreds of years.
However, over time, the bicycle has undergone many changes to keep up with the needs
of modern citizens. Today, many people rely on electric bicycles, or e-bikes, to get to their
destinations. E-bikes look just like ordinary bicycles, but they have small motors attached to
them. Unlike motorcycles or scooters, e-bikes can be pedaled, just like ordinary bicycles. The
small motor helps propel the bicycle. As a result, the rider exerts less energy than would be
needed while on a regular one.

Which replacement for the underlined phrase ensures the author uses the MOST precise word choice
in the paragraph?

A) Pedaling a traditional bicycle

B) riding the kind of bicycle most citizens use

C) taking a regular bicycle out

D) using a typical bicycle with pedals
