Correct answer

Leave first gear engaged and properly chock the bus.

Turning them outwards corresponds to a downhill slope. The question specifies a manual gearbox; where applicable, the rule allows the parking position. Remove chocks from the road when setting off and prevent unauthorised use if you leave the vehicle.
