Hey there! :D
Force is energy or strength that as the characteristic of movement or physical action.
A push or pull is a force. It moves something physically. If I was going to push a door for it to open, I would physically be moving it.
Inertia is a common tendency to remain unchanged or do nothing. If you are not doing anything, you are not applying force or movement to anything. This would not be the correct answer. We can eliminate "C" and "E"
Since a push and pull both are a force, then "D" is the answer. They both are.
I hope this helps!

The sugar cube experiment in the laboratory gives us a good approximation of the amount of energy that can be derived from the sugar cube because the amount of energy is neither created or destroyed, it is just converted to another form. If the energy from the sugar cube is converted to other form in the lab then, it is possible that same amount of energy will be derived.
The answer is probably going to be b or d. hope that helped
