The answer would have to be D, because the other choices do not make sense.

Answer:

D) the soup and the bowl act as one body with the same velocity.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are holding a full bowl of hot soup while standing in the kitchen. As you begin moving, some of the soup spills out of the bowl onto the floor. Upon reflection, you realize that the soup and the bowl act as one body with the same velocity. This is because the hot soup assumes or take the shape of the bowl and the soup and bowl are one due to attractions that exist between the particles of a hot soup.

The oscillations of the movement of the person has a part to play in the spilled soup. If the oscillation of the movement of the person i.e. the frequency at which the person is moving increases, the soup in the bowl will spill due the fact that both the soup and the bowl has the same velocity.
