D. The car would begin to move in the direction it was headed in a straight line.
Explanation;
-Centripetal force is any net force causing uniform circular motion. The direction of a centripetal force is toward the center of curvature, the same as the direction of centripetal acceleration.
-The centripetal force causing the car to turn in a circular path is due to friction between the tires and the road. A minimum coefficient of friction is needed, or the car will move in a larger-radius curve and leave the roadway.
-Therefore,If the centripetal and thus frictional force between the tires and the roadbed of a car moving in a circular
path were reduced then the car would begin to move in the direction it was headed in a straight line.
