AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) motion of a body in the solar system relative to the stars. "Space motion" refers to the movement of a celestial body, such as a planet or a spacecraft, relative to the fixed stars in the night sky. This is the motion of the body within the solar system, as it orbits the Sun or travels through space. The other answer choices are incorrect because they describe different types of motion or irregularities in the motion of celestial bodies, but not the specific "space motion" being asked about in the question.
