Solution

The correct option is A Newtons first law
Luggage kept on the roof of a bus has the tendency to maintain its state of rest when bus is in rest and to maintain the state of motion when bus is in motion according to Newtons First Law of Motion. When bus will come in motion from its state of rest, in order to maintain the position of rest, luggage kept over its roof may fall down(backward). Similarly, when a moving bus will come in the state of rest or there is any sudden change in velocity because of applying of brake, luggage may fall down(forward) because of its tendency to remain in the state of motion.
This is the cause that it is advised to tie any luggage kept on the roof a bus with a rope so that luggage can be prevented from falling down.
