Yes, checking your GPS is allowed
Yes, as long as you are in a safe area

Checking your GPS may be allowed, but it is also important to pull over or have a passenger check the GPS for you to avoid distractions while driving. Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it states that texting while driving is hazardous.
