ANSWER · B
Hydroplaning is when a vehicle drives at high speed on a water-covered road in the rain and water between the tires and road cannot escape; water pressure lifts the tires, causing the car to slide on the surface. Of the choices, "slowly release the accelerator to decelerate" is the safest. The other three may cause skidding or other accidents.
