b. newtons 1st law
c. newtons 2nd law
d. newtons 3rd law

Explanation:

Newton's 1st Law (Law of Inertia) states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. When the car makes a left turn, Tom's body (due to inertia) tends to keep moving in the original right - ward direction (from the car's perspective), which is an example of this law.

Answer:

B. Newton's 1st Law
