Question

A. It states the meanings of motion and force.
B. It justifies the meanings of motion and force.
C. It explains the relationship between motion and force.
D. It describes the relationship between motion and force.

Answer 1

Answer D: It describes the relationship between motion and force.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is D because a law is something that describes something in nature, but does not try to explain how or why is occurs (that is a theory). Options B and C sound more like theories, while option A sounds like a definition. Option D is correct because a law describes without explaining.
