The rotational effect of a force on a body about an axis of rotation is described in terms of
A
Moment of force
B
Centre of gravity
C
Centripetal force
D
Centrifugal force
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -According to the definition of torque, turning effect of force applied on the body about an axis is due to moment of force or torque. It is a vector quantity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Moment of Force is defined as the rotational effect of a force on a body about an axis of rotation and its unit is Newton metre.

Detailed explanation-3: -The turning effect of force is called Torque.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Coriolis effect describes the pattern of deflection taken by objects not firmly connected to the ground as they travel long distances around the Earth.

Detailed explanation-5: -The turning effect on the body about an axis due to applied on the body. Solution: Rotation about a fixed axis is done by the moment of force or torque.
