本题解析：

推断题。根据第三段“…parents and medical organizationsargue that seat belts are necessary…”可知很多家长是使用安全带的支持者，所以排除A项；第五段中提出了一种替代方法——“raising seat backs four inches”．但并未指出它会被考虑执行，所以排除C项；最后一段讲到“The report sponsored by the Departmentof Transportation at the request of Congress，reviewsseat belts extensively while taking a broader look at safety in and aroundschool buses．”但并未说明交通部要采取什么措施，所以排除D项。通过文中提到的大家对校车安全的关心．相关部门的研究以及交通部门的关注．可以推知B项正确。
