Correct answer

Explanation

If you experience a flat tire or blowout, don't slam on the brakes. Doing so might lock the wheels and cause you to lose control. Instead, take your foot off the gas pedal, hold the steering wheel firmly, and keep your vehicle going straight while you let it slow down gradually. Brake gently only after the vehicle is back under your control.
