Correct answer

  • BPreparar un terreno estable colocando el material adecuado cerca de las ruedas motrices para que estas tengan la adherencia suficiente.Prepare stable ground by placing suitable material near the driving wheels so that they have enough grip.
Explanation

The right thing is to give the driving wheels grip by placing stable material (branches, sand, floor mats) in front of them. Accelerating hard only makes the wheels spin and sinks the vehicle deeper into the mud.
