Answer:

A. First

Step-by-step explanation:

Linda has some espresso kept in the cup holder in her vehicle. She needs to all of a sudden pummel on her brakes and stop. The cup stayed in the cup holder, yet the espresso sprinkled and spilled all over.

This happens on account of the Newton's first law of movement. It states that that an object at rest will remain at rest until and unless and external force is applied to it for its movement. It also describes the inertia.
