Solution

The correct option is B a less force is required for the tennis ball than for the cricket ball
According to Newton's laws of motion, an object with more mass requires more force to change the current state. Since, a cricket ball is heavier than a tennis ball, therefore, less force is required to start motion in tennis ball than in cricket ball.
