Juan inflates a balloon and then releases its end to let the balloon go free as air comes out. The balloon then flies around the room.

A
According to Newton’s first law of motion, the balloon would stay still unless a force caused it to move.
B
According to Newton’s third law of motion, the balloon is pushed forward as the air is forced out.
C
According to Newton’s third law of motion, the balloon resists any change of motion unless an unbalanced force acts upon it.
D
According to Newton’s second law of motion, the balloon exerts a force on the air, which exerts a force back on the balloon.
