Explanation:

Change in momentum is given by the product of force and the time over which the force is applied.

This relationship is derived from Newton's second law, which states that force equals the rate of change of momentum. When rearranged, this law can be expressed as:

Change in momentum = Force x Time

None of the other options (Force x Mass, Force x Velocity, Force x Distance) correctly describe the change in momentum.

∴ The correct answer is option 2.
