Solution

The correct option is C centrifugal force
Centrifugal force is the force that acts radially outwards when you starts to rotate a mass about an axis.
When the washing machine rotor starts to move, water, due to its mass and the force which acts radially outwards, moves outward and flows through the holes of the drying basket.
Hence option C is correct
