Answer:

The forces that form a pair of action/reaction forces are the friction force and the driving force of the car.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the weight of the car produces a friction effect between the pavement and the wheel covers, which brakes the car (the force makes sense from east to west). This force is overcome by the driving force of the car, which propels it eastward. Both forces have equal direction and opposite directions.

Have a nice day!
