Answer 1

The correct option is E

None of the above

Rest can be defined only with respect to a frame of reference. Absolute rest has no meaning. When you say a tree is in a state of rest you obviously mean, w.r.t. the earth but the same tree will be in a state of motion when viewed from the moon as the tree rotates along with the earth.
