Solution

The correct option is D Averts
'Prevent' means to keep (something) from happening.
"action must be taken to prevent further accidents"
In this context, "If a pilot prevents a plane crash by making a safe emergency landing he may laugh later as he describes his experience", 'prevents' means averts. Hence, option C is correct and the other options are incorrect as they do not provide the appropriate information.
