Solution

The correct option is B

Newton's Third Law of Motion

When a running motorbike accelerates suddenly, the pillion rider has a tendency to fall backward. This is an example of Newton’s Third Law of Motion. The motorbike exerts a force on the road and according to Newton’s Third Law of Motion, the road exerts an opposite force on the bike. Hence the pillion rider has a tendency to fall back.
