Correct answer
With the brakes and the engine.
Service brakes and engine braking when releasing the accelerator in a suitable engaged gear. Selecting a lower gear can initially raise engine speed at the same road speed; engine braking is not simply a reduction in engine revolutions. Choose a safe gear without exceeding permitted engine speed and use the brakes when needed; do not coast downhill in neutral.
