Explanation:

When wheels drift onto the shoulder, the safest action is to slow down and regain control. Moving slowly along the shoulder and waving traffic (A) is dangerous as it may cause confusion. Driving along the shoulder until going as fast as traffic (B) or until reaching an acceleration lane (C) is not a standard or safe procedure. Slowing down (D) allows the driver to assess the situation and safely return to the paved road.
