(A) there is a condition and it's converse regarding bodies at rest and bodies in motion

It's = It is

There is a condition and it is converse regarding [...]

(B) there is a condition and its converse regarding bodies at rest and bodies in motion

Good

(C) there are a condition and its converse regarding bodies at rest and bodies in motion

Plural verb "Are" should be singular

(D) there are a condition and it's converse regarding bodies at rest and bodies in motion

Same as (C)

(E) there has been a condition and its converse regarding bodies at rest and bodies in motion

Verb tense is wrong

I think this question test simple school grammar: There Is vs. There Are: How to Choose?

The choice between the phrases there is and there are at the beginning of a sentence is determined by the noun that follows it.
Use there is when the noun is singular (“There is a cat”). Use there are when the noun is plural (“There are two cats”).

There are a condition AND its converse regarding bodies at rest and bodies in motion.
Here, "a condition and it's converse" are 2 things and hence "are" is used and not "is". Excellent question though
