Solution

The correct option is B

due to Innertia of direction


Inertia of direction is the resistance offered by a body to its change in direction of motion. Thus the passengers tend to remain in the original direction whereas the car moves in a different direction. Hence, when a car travelling at a high speed takes a turn at a sharp bend, the people inside the car experience an outward pull.
