If you suddenly have no control of the steering wheel, you should

Brake hard to stop quickly
Accelerate to regain control
Steer sharply to the left
Ease your foot off the gas pedal

The correct answer is: Ease your foot off the gas pedal

If you suddenly have no control of the steering wheel, the correct action to take is to ease your foot off the gas pedal (Option D). This is the safest course of action in this situation because abruptly braking or accelerating can result in losing even more control of the vehicle and potentially causing an accident. By releasing the gas pedal, you are allowing the vehicle to slow down gradually, giving you more time to regain control of the steering wheel or to safely stop the vehicle.
