Solution

The correct option is B Left
As the car circles, it experiences a centrifugal force towards right, so does the air molecules inside the car. Thus they tend to move towards right.
Thus the lighter helium balloon experiences a push to the left due to the increase in pressure at right due to accumulation of gas molecules there.
