Newton’s book Principia described three laws of
A
logic.
B
motion.
C
arithmetic.
D
map making.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Newton’s Laws of Motion are three physical laws which provide relationships between the forces acting on a body and the motion of the body, first formulated by Sir Isaac Newton. Newton ‘s laws were first published in his work Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (1687).

Detailed explanation-3: -The Principia opens with a section called “Definitions” that includes Newton’s discussion of absolute space, time, and motion. No part of the Principia has received more discussion by philosophers over the three centuries since it was published.

Detailed explanation-4: -Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (English: The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy) often referred to as simply the Principia (/prɪnˈsɪpiə, prɪnˈkɪpiə/), is a book by Isaac Newton that expounds Newton’s laws of motion and his law of universal gravitation.
