The correct answer is:
When the body remains stationary on the floor of the car, let's consider the following free-body diagram of the body:
The formula to calculate the Newtonian force on the body is given by
And, the frictional force on the body by the surface of the car is given by
Equate equations (1) and (2) and simplify to obtain the required maximum acceleration of the car.
Substitute the values of the known parameters into equation (3) to calculate the required parameter.
