Th correct answer is option (b) Resolution.

Explanation:

• The way of representing a single force into number of forces without changing the effect of the force on the body is called as Resolution of a force.
• Resolution of a force the separation of a single force or motion into two or more which have different directions, and, taken together, are an equivalent for the single one; - the opposite of composition of a force.
• In order to resolve a vector into its components, Fx = F cos or Fy = F sin , one must know at least two items of the six geometric descriptors of a triangle (the lengths of the sides and the three angles).
