  1. Hit the brakes hard without locking the wheels.
  2. Use small steering movements if possible.

Explanation
Answer: D - In order to use the "controlled braking" method effectively, commercial drivers must apply the brakes hard without locking up the wheels. If the wheels do lock up, drivers must release the brake until the wheels turn freely again and then reapply the brakes. Drivers should steer the vehicle using small steering movements whenever possible. If a large steering movement is required, release the brakes first, steer as needed, and then reapply the brakes.
