Solution

The correct options are
A its inner wheels leave the road first
D it topples outward
if we see the car in its frame, the centrifugal force puts a torque that makes the car topple and to balance that, the outer wheel should have a higher normal reaction and hence there is small downward force on the inner wheel which goes to zero as speed increases and car topples outward
