As well as operating the brakes, you should also make sure that your brake levers...?

Explanation:
Signaling when you slow down is essential. When you squeeze the brake levers, the brake light should come on so drivers behind you can clearly see that you’re braking. This visual signal helps prevent rear-end collisions by giving following traffic enough notice to slow down in time. If the brake light isn’t activated by the levers, you can brake without others realizing it, increasing risk. The other options don’t serve this signaling purpose: turning on a high beam is for illumination, releasing the grip would stop braking, and simply “operating the brakes” doesn’t ensure others know you’re slowing.
