Answer:

static friction acting opposite to the direction of travel

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the Frictional force of the front wheels act to oppose the spinning, so, For the front wheels to roll without slipping, the friction must be static friction pointing in the direction of travel of the car.

Step-by-step explanation:
