C

Explanation

The wheels of a moving car rrtates on its axis and alsocarries the car from one place to another it therefore performs both rotationalandtranslational motion.
The wheels of a moving car undergo a combination of different types of motion, including translational motion and rotational motion.

1. Translational motion: This is the motion of the car as a whole in a straight line. When a car moves forward or backward, the wheels translate along the road's surface. This motion is responsible for the car's linear speed and direction.

2. Rotational motion: The wheels themselves also undergo rotational motion. Each wheel spins on its axis as the car moves. This rotational motion is necessary to allow the car to roll smoothly along the ground and covers the distance required during translational motion.

The combination of translational and rotational motion allows the car to move efficiently and maintain its stability on the road.
