Detailed Solution

Newton's first law of motion is also known as the law of inertia. The ability of a body to resist change is referred to as inertia.

According to Newton's first law of motion, A body remains in the state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless and until an external force acts on it.

When a bus suddenly starts moving, the lower body tends to be in motion, but the upper body still remains at rest due to the inertia of rest, causing a jerk and falling backwards.

Therefore, 'Newton's first law of motion' is the correct answer.
