Answer:

Option A

You slide forward on the frictionless seat at the same velocity that the bus was traveling prior to the stop

Explanation:

From the law of inertia, an object will remain at rest or move at a constant speed in a straight line unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force. Since you were riding, you will maintain the speed of car even after application of instantaneous brakes. In the process, you slide forward on the frictionless seat at the same velocity that the bus was traveling prior to the stop.
