Correct Option: C
Explanation: When a car goes around a banked curve with a speed lower than the ideal speed for that curve, it experiences a smaller normal force. The smaller normal force results in a smaller frictional force, which can cause the car to slide or skid off the road. The ideal speed for a banked curve is the speed at which the frictional force provides the necessary centripetal force, allowing the car to safely navigate the curve without sliding.
