The best explanation for why your body continues to move forward while your foot stops when you trip is:

**An unbalanced force stops your foot but does not act on the rest of your body.**

This statement reflects the concept that when your foot encounters an obstacle and is abruptly stopped, the inertia of your body causes you to continue moving forward until a different force acts on it.
