Why is smooth, gradual throttle application important when starting on a loose or gravel surface?

Pick an answer

1. Loose surfaces respond the same to throttle input as dry pavement does, which only seems true until you deal with surface
2. Sudden throttle can spin the drive wheels and reduce traction instead of moving the vehicle forward
3. Throttle input has no effect on traction on loose surfaces
4. Gradual throttle is only a fuel-saving technique, not a traction one
