Respuesta :

The correct answer is B (Inertia)

We define inertia as the resistance to change of the state of motion. That is, a body tends to remain in its state of motion or rests unless an external for acts on it. The quantity depends on the mass of the body. If the body is heavy, it requires a large force to overcome the inertia.
