Miguel owes a duty of care to Anna because Miguel drives his car on the road and Anna walks on the side of the road. The present tense is formed by adding an "s" to the end of the verb or by using the present tense of an irregular verb. Answer C is the correct choice because it uses the present tense of the verb "to owe," the present tense of the irregular verb "to drive," and the present tense of the verb "to walk." Answer A is not the correct choice because the verbs are stated in the future tense. Answer B is not the correct choice because the verbs are stated in the past tense. Answer D is not the correct choice because the verbs are stated in the present perfect tense.
