Solution

The correct option is D Third law of motion

The law of conservation of momentum is based on Newton’s third law because the law of conservation of momentum can be derived from the law of action and reaction, which states that every force has a reciprocating equal and opposite force. If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back against you with the same amount of force.
