Answer:

A) c

Explanation:

Speed of light is always constant irrespective of the wave source's motion and the observer's inertial frame of reference. So, no matter how fast the car is moving the speed of light will always be constant. The speed of light in air is around 299704644.54 m/s. The meter is also defined by the speed of light as 1 meter is the distance travelled by light in 1/299792458 second.
