The force that tries to slow down the car due to the contact between the tyres and the road surface is called friction force.

Friction force is the force that opposes the relative motion or the tendency of relative motion between two surfaces in contact. When the tyres of a car are in contact with the road surface and the car is moving, the frictional force between the tyres and the road tries to slow down the car's motion.

Drag force: Drag force is the force that acts on a moving object through a fluid (like air or water). It opposes the motion of the object through the fluid. In the case of a car moving on a road, air resistance is an example of drag force. But the question specifically...
