Answer:

B. Inertia resist changes to the state of motion of a body.

Step-by-step explanation:

The force of inertia is an inherent property of matter in which it allows a body to resist changes to the state of motion of the body.

According to Newton's first law of motion "a body will remain at rest or in constant motion unless if an external force acts on it".

This is the law inertia.

  • The ability of a body to resist changes to the motion of the body is its inertia.
  • Therefore, the correct choice is B.
