    Friction force to the right

    Explanation:

    Since we know that when car is taking sharp left turn then our tendency of motion is along the car

    So we also have tendency to take turn towards left

    Since we know that friction force always oppose the tendency of relative motion between two surface

    so the friction force between car and us will oppose the relative motion and it will act opposite to it

    So the friction force will be towards right due to which the person inside the car will slide towards right

    so correct answer will be

    Friction force to the right
