(c) is same for both cars
Explanation:
During slipping, the force of friction on a car = µMg (where M is the mass of the car and µ is the coefficient of kinetic friction.) The deceleration = Force/mass = µMg/M =µg This expression for deceleration is independent of M (Mass of the car), so the minimum slipping distance is same for both cars.
