In modern quantum physics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that the more precisely you know a particle's:
A)velocity, the more certain you are of its position in space.
B)mass, the less certain you are of its size.
C)position, the more certain you are of its speed and motion.
D)position, the less certain you are of its speed and motion.

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that the more precisely you know a particle's position, the less certain you are of its speed and motion. This means that if you have precise knowledge of a particle's position, its speed and motion become more uncertain, and vice versa. Therefore, option D is the correct choice.
