Answer:

The answer is a. Jumper

Explanation:

The change in the momentum is represented by the equation

$Ft=m*v$

Acceleration of any body is calculated by the product of the mass of the body and with the velocity the same mass is moving.

Since it is mentioned in the statement that m is the mass of the jumper then velocity will also be of the jumper to calculate the change in the momentum.

If the mass of bugle cord is taken, then its velocity will be taken for the equation.
