Correct answer

  • BNo levantar el pie del pedal aceleradorDo not take your foot off the accelerator.
Explanation

In a front-wheel drive vehicle, the engine drives the front wheels. If it skids, you should not brake or suddenly release the accelerator: keep accelerating gently so that the front wheels pull the vehicle, and steer towards the side the wheels are sliding to.
