The best option that describes motion caused by a contact force is:
**a toy car rolling down a ramp**
This is because the toy car requires contact with the ramp to move down it. The other options involve non-contact forces, such as magnetic force (the paperclip and magnet), gravitational force (the apple falling), and wind, which is a fluid motion that does not require direct contact to move the leaves.
