The correct answer is the blue car with a mass of 500 kg moving at 30 m/s.

To calculate kinetic energy, we use the formula:

Kinetic energy = (1/2) * mass * velocity^2

Plugging in the values for each car, we get:

Blue car: (1/2) * 500 kg * (30 m/s)^2 = 225,000 J

Green car: (1/2) * 500 kg * (21 m/s)^2 = 110,250 J

Yellow car: (1/2) * 500 kg * (12 m/s)^2 = 36,000 J

Red car: (1/2) * 500 kg * (3 m/s)^2 = 2,250 J

Therefore, the blue car has the greatest kinetic energy with a value of 225,000 J.
