Answer: D — All of the above

When your tires lose traction, it is essential to understand how to respond to maintain control of your vehicle. Keeping the steering wheel straight helps prevent overcorrection and potential skidding. By not attempting to stop or turn quickly, you avoid further losing control of the vehicle. Easing your foot off the gas pedal allows the tires to regain traction gradually. Therefore, all of the listed actions in option D are crucial in handling a situation where your tires lose traction effectively.
