Options:
  • A $\frac{d p}{d t}=\tau_{\text {ext }}$
  • B $\frac{d L}{d t}=\tau_{\text {int }}$
  • C $\frac{d L}{d t}=\tau_{\text {ext }}$
  • D $\frac{d L}{d t}=\tau_{\mathrm{int}}+\tau_{\mathrm{ext}}$

The correct answer is: $\frac{d L}{d t}=\tau_{\text {ext }}$
The external torque changes the angular momentum, therefore the second law in rotational motion is given by,
$$
\tau_{\mathrm{ext}}=\frac{d L}{d t}
$$
