If crossing at a corner is safer than jaywalking, why is it that more people die when crossing at corners than while jaywalking?

The correct answer will provide an alternative explanation for the higher number of deaths at corners, despite the dangers of jaywalking. One possibility is that there are more pedestrians crossing at corners than elsewhere, which would naturally explain this statistic.

This explains the statistic: more pedestrians die at corners simply because there are more of them there. Jaywalking may be more dangerous, but there could simply be very few people doing it.

This isn’t helpful because it doesn’t specify how many jaywalkers follow this practice; it could be very few, or it could be almost all, but we don't have that information. This doesn't tell us enought to explain the statistic.

Drivers’ legal knowledge is irrelevant to the discrepancy between the danger of jaywalking and pedestrian death statistics. This doesn't explain why more pedestrians die when crossing at corners.

These laws would apply to all pedestrians equally, so they aren’t helpful in explaining why more pedestrians die while crossing at corners.

Like (D), this claim applies equally to all pedestrians, so isn't helpful. We also don't know how many drivers are "good" drivers. This doesn't explain why more pedestrians die while crossing at corners.
