Answer:

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The above given statement represents the 1st law. This law says that an object which is in stationary remains in rest only, and an object which is in motion remains in motion in the same direction and with same direction until and unless there is an external force exerted on it.

In the given statement, it talks about a force that is needed to deviate the direction of motion from a straight line, and this satisfies the condition of Newton's first law.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
