Solution

The correct option is B linear momentum

According to Newton's third law, the forces on the two objects are equal in magnitude and opposite in reaction. Such forces cause one object to gain momentum and the other object to lose momentum such that total momentum of the system remains conserved in absence of any external force. Hence, newton's third law of motion leads to law of conservation of momentum.
