The correct answer to the question is : D) Impulse

Step-by-step explanation:

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand impulse.

Impulse of a body is defined as change in momentum or the product of force with time.

Mathematically impulse = F × t = m ( v - u ).

Here, v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

F is the force acting on the body for time t.

Hence, the perfect answer of this question is impulse m i.e the force multiplied with time is known as impulse.
