Solution

The correct option is A

True


Newton's First Law of Motion states that any object at rest remains at rest and any object in motion continues to be in motion (without any change in direction and speed) until and unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force. Since the moon is maintaining a fixed speed and orbit around the Earth, we can say that the moon's motion around the earth involves first law of motion and uniform motion.
