The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The area under the force-time graph represents the impulse imparted by the force, which is equal to the change in momentum.

According to the impulse-momentum theorem, the impulse is the product of the average force and the time over which it acts, and it is equal to the change in linear momentum (\( \Delta p \)): \[ \text{Impulse} = F \cdot \Delta t = \Delta p \] So, the area under a force-time graph gives the change in linear momentum, not angular momentum.

Correct Answer:

Correct Answer: (D) Linear momentum
