Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option based on safe driving practices when encountering bad pavement:

• Option a: Slowing speed, staying in the same lane (to avoid sudden lane changes that could be dangerous) and driving with special attention until reaching good pavement is a safe approach.
• Option b: Changing lanes quickly on bad pavement can be hazardous as it may lead to loss of control or collisions.
• Option c: Continuing as normal is unsafe as bad pavement can affect vehicle handling, and not interrupting other vehicles is not a priority over safety.
• Option d: Increasing speed and swerving is extremely dangerous as it increases the risk of losing control.

Answer:

a) Slow speed, stay in the same lane as much as possible and drive with special attention until reaching an area of good pavement
