My exterior garage side door leaks around the bottom when it rains. Attached is photos of the door. I am confused on which remedies to use...door sweep? seal? door thresholds? weatherstrip? Please advise. Thanks in advance!

Weather stripping sounds like best bet.

Put your photos on a personal website (Yahoo!, geocities, etc.) and post the URL here. THEN we can get to them.
If the water is coming in under the door, you need a threshold, and a shoe that will seal against it when the door is closed. Weatherstripping is then installed on both jambs and the header so that the door seals to it when it's closed.
