b. different and governed by different rules.

A vehicle stop is a seizure (governed by the reasonable-suspicion/Terry standard and traffic-stop rules), while a vehicle search generally requires probable cause or a recognized exception (consent, search-incident-to-arrest, inventory, plain view, motor-vehicle exception, etc.).
