c

Are you sure it's not A Darius? I'm not incredibly good at physics so if you have an explanation id love to know
@DariusX

dariusx · Answer

a would be chemistry

anonymous · Answer

Darius is right. 'A' is chemistry as it is primarily concerns with changing of matter by means of chemicals. You mix compounds to form a product. Whereas 'C' involves examination of classical mechanics as well as new modern physics to explain any motion given a gravitational field.

There is however a branch of physics that concerns itself with quantum mechanics (& subatomic particles) and that would relate very similarly to chemistry.
