Answer: Friction.

Explanation: Even though the driver has taken the foot off thr gas pedal, the acceleration of the car decreases and the friction continues.

The car slows down because the opposite force of friction continues to act and the acceleration in forward direction is continuous decreasing. Hence, the car slows down.
