Laws of nature are not commands but statements of acts. The use of the word "law" in this context is rather unfortunate. It would be better to speak of uniformities in nature. This would do away with the elementary fallacy that a law implies a law giver. If a piece of matter does not obey a law of nature it is punished. On the contrary, we say that the law has been incorrectly started.

The ans must be D. As stated in the last line, "we say that the law has been incorrectly started." simply means what is said in option D.

Laws of nature are not comments but statements of acts ---this implies that is not compulsory to follow that law.
