centripetal force bank question help

so the question is ii)state the possible origins of the centripetal force on the car in Figure 2.
Screenshot (71).png
Answer is:
-friction (between surface and wheel / tyre)B1
-(normal) reaction (at the surface)B1
-horizontal component of either force / component towards the centreB1s
-sum of horizontal components

I don't get how the first 2 points answer the question
you can ignore part i)

thx to anyone who helps

Don’t see B1 on the diagram. It is the inward horizontal components of the friction from the tyres and in Fig 2from the reaction force with the surface which pulls the car in to a circular path. In Fig 1 there is only the tyre friction to do the job. Hence why banking assists cornering
