How can you make it easier to drive a passenger car out of a sticky snow?

How can you make it easier to drive a passenger car out of a sticky snow?
aBy reversing a few times and moving forward.
bBy starting off at high engine revolutions.
cBy rapidly releasing the clutch pedal.

Why?

The picture shows a thick layer of snow in which a car could get stuck. Moving gently backwards and forwards can rock the car and help it get free. Stop the car before changing direction. High engine revs and releasing the clutch abruptly encourage wheelspin and can dig the wheels deeper into the snow.
