Solution

The correct option is A

True


Newton’s First Law of motion states that a body at rest will remain at rest and body at motion will remain in uniform motion unless an unbalanced force acts on it to change its state of rest or of uniform motion. Galileo’s Law of Inertia states that; if no net force acts on an object, the object maintains in the same state of motion. This is a restatement of Newton’s First Law of Motion.

The first law of Motion is also known as Galileo's law of inertia.
