It looks like you're asking for the definition or nature of a "Newton." I'll break down each option you've provided in relation to the concept of a Newton:
A. **a non-contact force** - This is not correct. A Newton is a unit of measurement for force, and while it can be used to describe non-contact forces (like gravitational or magnetic forces), it itself is not a non-contact force.
B. **the unit in which forces are measured** - This is correct. A Newton (symbol: N) is the SI unit of force. It is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a 1 kg mass by 1 meter per second squared (1 N = 1 kg·m/s²).
C. **a force that pulls objects toward the ground** - This is not a complete definition of a Newton, although gravitational force (weight) is measured in Newtons.
D. **a force that changes the motion of an object** - This statement aligns with the idea of force in general, but it doesn't specifically define a Newton. A Newton is indeed a measure of such forces.
The best answer to define a "Newton" is **B**, as it specifically identifies what a Newton is: the unit in which forces are measured.
