Show answer

Correct answer

  • BCircular a poca velocidad para no tener que frenar.Drive at low speed so that you do not have to brake.
Explanation

On ice, grip is minimal: the safe thing is to drive very slowly and smoothly so that you do not have to brake. Pressing the brake or the clutch on ice makes it easier for the wheels to lock and for you to lose control.
