Before leaving the car parked on a downgrade, you should:

Leave your front wheels parallel to the curb.
Turn your front wheels to the left and set the parking brakes.
Set the parking brakes only.
Turn your front wheels to the right and set the parking brakes.

The correct answer is: Turn your front wheels to the right and set the parking brakes.

When parked on a downgrade, it is important to turn your front wheels to the right and set the parking brakes. This is because in the event of the parking brakes failing, the wheels will roll towards the curb instead of into traffic. Option A is incorrect because leaving the front wheels parallel to the curb on a downgrade could cause the car to roll into traffic if the parking brakes fail. Option B is incorrect because turning the front wheels to the left could also cause the car to roll into traffic in the event of parking brake failure. Option C is incorrect because setting the parking brakes only does not guarantee that the car will not roll into traffic. Therefore, turning the front wheels to the right and setting the parking brakes is the safest option when parked on a downgrade.
