One could argue that E is the correct answer: The force of the foot on the
pedal causes a chain of events with the result that the car accelerates.
No, I am not just being facetious. The joker in this deck is the word
"causes". This word as commonly used (and I don't remember it being
redefined in any physics curriculum) does not preclude any number of
intermediate agencies, time delays, etc.
A better wording might be "What force acts on the car to accelerate it
forward?"
