The correct answer is B. change in momentum

It is a graph that represents the force that acts on a body in a certain amount of time.

Force on the object is represented by the y-axis and time taken by the object is represented by the y axis.

The area under the curve indicates the impulse, the change in momentum that the object undergoes.
