What is the primary source of angular acceleration in a rigid body?
Angular acceleration (α) is caused by net external torque (τ = Iα), which drives rotational change. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to Net external torque. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.
