C). Predicate Nominative

Step-by-step explanation:

The bolded words 'be in the car and ready to go in five minutes' is functioning as the predicate nominative in the given sentence as it is functioning to accomplish the linking verb 'needs to' and rename/redefine the subject('Whoever wants to go see the movie'). It is the noun that primarily stands to restate the subject noun and hence, option C is the correct answer.
