Correct answer
Keep a sufficient safety distance adapted to conditions.
Keep enough distance to stop without colliding, adapted to speed, grip, visibility and braking ability. Increase the gap as conditions worsen. A rule of thumb in seconds does not replace that assessment or guarantee safety in every situation. If fatigued or drowsy, stop to rest; increasing the gap does not make you fit to drive.
