An egg is dropped onto a wood floor and breaks. When a different egg (same mass) is dropped the same distance onto a foam pad on the wood floor, it does not break. Why (in terms of physics) does this happen?

A. The pad extends the time so the impulse changes.
B. An egg requires a harder surface so it won’t break.
C. The pad pulls the egg to the floor.
D. Wood is harder than the pad.
