Observing traffic laws in exchange for driving on the highway.

Explanation: the social contract is about individuals accepting rules and limits on their behavior in return for the benefits and protection of living in an organized society. Following traffic laws to gain safe access to public roads is a clear example. The other options describe private, market exchanges (paying for utilities or accepting ads for free broadcasts), not acceptance of a societal-level contract.
