The correct answer is

d. 3,000

Explanation:

In order to have an acceptable justification about the fires in the gas tanks Ford said that for the Standard 301 fires were a minimal problem. Because of this, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration - NHTSA was responsible for carrying out several studies independently where they found that the number of fires in cars was 400,000 per year and that of this number 3.000 led to the death of its occupants.
