As an AI language model, my responses are based on the options presented to me in the question. However, you are correct that the reason why your body continues to move forward when you trip is due to the principle of conservation of momentum. When your foot is suddenly stopped, the rest of your body continues to move with the same momentum it had before, causing you to fall forward.
