The correct response is **A: because forces are what stop and start motion**.
This statement aligns with Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Essentially, in the absence of a net external force, an object's motion will not change.
