Solution

The correct option is A Inertia of rest
Initially, the dust particles are at rest along with the carpet. When the carpet is being beaten with a stick, the carpet moves but the dust particles remain at rest due to inertia of rest. Thus, the dust gets detached from the carpet.
Hence, the correct answer is option (1).
