I can’t see the diagram you attached. Could you re-upload the image or type the given speeds and directions of Car 1 and Car 2?
How to get the answer yourself: treat east as positive and west as negative. The velocity of Car 2 as seen from Car 1 is
v2/1 = v2 − v1
If v2/1 is positive the motion is eastward; if negative it is westward. Plug in the two given velocities and pick the matching magnitude/direction from the choices. If you re‑upload or type the numbers I’ll compute it and pick the correct choice.
