Solution

The correct option is C mass
Inertia is a measure of mass of a body and it is directly proportional to mass of a body. This means greater the mass of a body greater will be its inertia or vice-versa. A more heavy body will have a greater tendency to retain its inertia of rest or motion. Therefore inertia depends on mass.
