Solution

The correct option is B

Law of inertia


Newton's first law states that an object will remain at rest or move at a constant speed in a straight line unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force. This is basically a resistance to the change in state of motion, which we also call as inertia. Hence, Newton's first law of motion can also be referred to as the Law of Inertia.
