- AGauss' law
- BNewton's law
- CPascal's law
- DAmpere's law
Explanation
Gauss's law for magnetism states that the net magnetic flux through any closed surface is zero (div B = 0), which means magnetic field lines have no sources or sinks — i.e. magnetic monopoles do not exist. Newton's, Pascal's and Ampere's laws make no such statement. Hence Gauss's law is the answer.
