Atticus Wells · Answer 1

The correct option is A. The moon's orbit around Earth

Explanation:

Newtons first law of motion says that an object in motion will always remain in motion and an object in erst will always stay at rest untill an external force acts upon it. This law is also called law of inertia which is the property of a body to resist any change in its state of rest or motion. Since moon is also revolving around the earth so it is in motion always and it continues its motion.
