Solution

The correct option is A

Dynamics


Explanation for incorrect option:-

B. The branch of physics that defines motion with respect to space and time, ignoring the cause of that motion, is known as kinematics.

C. Statics, in physics, is the subdivision of mechanics that is concerned with the forces that act on bodies at rest under equilibrium conditions.

Explanation for correct option:-

A.

  1. Dynamics is a branch of physical science and subdivision of mechanics concerned with the motion of material objects in relation to the physical factors that affect them: force, mass, momentum, and energy.
  2. The foundations of dynamics were laid at the end of the 16th century by Galileo, who, by experimenting with a smooth ball rolling down an inclined plane, derived the law of motion for falling bodies.

Hence, option A is correct. The branch of physics that deals with the motion of objects while considering the cause of motion is Dynamics.
