Solution

The correct option is A Force
Sir Newton's second law of motion states, the rate of change of linear momentum of a body is directly proportional to the external force applied on the body.
Fdpdt
F=kdpdt
Since, p=mv
Hence, F=kd(mv)dt
F=kmdvdt
F=kma (as dv/dt=a acceleration)
Thus, Newton's law gives the measure of force.
