The situation described is an example of:
**D) Newton's First Law of Motion.**
Newton's First Law, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will continue in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by a net external force. In this case, the child continues moving forward when the bus slows down because of inertia.
