Explanation:

When a blowout occurs while driving, the correct procedure is to steer firmly to maintain control, remove the foot from the accelerator to reduce speed gradually, and brake cautiously to avoid skidding. Option A is incorrect as pushing the clutch (for manual vehicles) and coasting isn't the primary action. Option B is wrong because hitting brakes firmly can cause loss of control. Option C is incorrect as maintaining speed is dangerous. Option D follows the safe driving protocol for blowouts.

Answer:

D. Steer firmly, take your foot off the accelerator and brake cautiously
