a
b
c

Explanation:

Newton's 1st Law (Law of Inertia) states that an object in motion stays in motion (or at rest) unless acted upon by a net external force. When the vehicle stops quickly, the coffee (in motion with the vehicle) tends to stay in motion, causing it to spill—this matches Newton's 1st Law. Newton's 2nd Law relates to force, mass, and acceleration ($F = ma$), and 3rd Law is action - reaction, which don't apply here.

Answer:

a) Newton's 1st Law
