Solution

The correct option is A linear momentum
The rocket propulsion is based on the principle of linear momentum conservation as initially the rocket is at rest but when the rocket is ready to take off the the momentum of small mass of gas ejected at high speed is compensated by increased momentum of the rocket with the remaining fuel.
