Final answer:

When riding over a pothole, it is usually best to keep a steady speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you ride over a pothole, it is usually best to keep a steady speed (c).

By maintaining a steady speed, you can minimize the impact of the pothole on your vehicle. Braking immediately (a) can cause your vehicle to dip into the pothole, potentially causing damage. Accelerating quickly (b) can also cause your vehicle to lose control and increase the impact of the pothole.
