B Correct answer
Explanation

Momentum is defined as the product of an object's mass and its velocity (p = mv). This is a fundamental concept in physics describing the quantity of motion. Energy, Force, and Acceleration are related but distinct quantities - Energy is 1/2 mv^2 for kinetic energy, Force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma), and Acceleration is the rate of velocity change.
