The best answer for this would be "D. When driving a car, young drivers must remember to completely ignore their cell phones."

The statement here has the split infinitive "completely" which in its literal definition, it means totally or entirely. It is creating emphasis not only with the use of the split infinitive, but by also being specific on "cellphones".
