The momentum (p) of an object is calculated using the formula:

\[ p = m \times v \]

where:

  • \( m \) is the mass of the object (in kg),
  • \( v \) is the velocity of the object (in m/s).

For the car with a mass of 1,900 kg moving at a velocity of 20 m/s:

\[ p = 1,900 , \text{kg} \times 20 , \text{m/s} \]

Calculating this:

\[ p = 38,000 , \text{kg.m/s} \]

So the correct answer is:

38,000 kg.m/s
