Correct Answer

Explanation

The inertia of a body refers to its resistance to changes in motion. It is a property of matter that causes an object to maintain its current state of motion or rest unless acted upon by an external force. In simpler terms, an object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and direction, unless an external force is applied. This concept is described by Newton's first law of motion, also known as the law of inertia.
