Solution

The correct option is B It is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of rest or motion.
The inertia of an object is defined as the tendency or the nature of the object to oppose a change in its state of rest, or of motion. An object's inertia always solely depends on its mass. Objects with more mass have more inertia.
