Correct answer
Adopt the same lean as the rider.
The passenger on a motorcycle must form a single unit with the rider, always keeping the same line both on straights and when leaning into bends. This is why, to take a bend safely, the passenger must adopt the same lean as the rider, without anticipating it and without counteracting the rider's position.
