The correct answer is thermal energy.

Explanation:

Initially, the car has kinetic energy, as it is moving at a certain speed. When the person presses the brakes, the wheels stop, reducing the speed of the car to zero. Kinetic energy transfer occurs with the wheels in contact with the pavement, which ends up generating thermal energy.

Have a nice day!
