D. When bumper cars collide, one car will transfer its force to the other, and then they will bounce apart.
This scenario demonstrates Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the case of bumper cars, when two cars collide, the force exerted by one car on the other is transferred to it, causing it to move in the opposite direction. This transfer of force results in both cars experiencing equal and opposite forces, causing them to bounce apart.
