Solution

The correct option is A

steel ball has more inertia than plastic ball


Inertia is the tendency of a body to oppose any change in its state of rest or of uniform motion.

The magnitude of inertia of a body is determined by its mass. For example, a larger mass such as that of a train indicates a larger inertia. A steel block has a higher mass than a plastic block, hence a steel block has a higher inertia.
