The scenario described with Mrs. Hankinson, where she has zero total external forces acting on her and continues to move at a constant velocity, illustrates **Newton's First Law of Motion**.
This law states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force.
So the correct answer is:
**a. Newton's First Law of Motion**.
