C Correct answer
Explanation

Airbags are designed to deploy at impact speeds around 19 mph (approximately 30 km/h). This threshold is chosen because at lower speeds, the seatbelt alone provides adequate protection and airbag deployment could cause unnecessary injury. The exact speed can vary slightly by manufacturer and airbag type.
