Answer:

the bowling ball, because it has more mass and therefore more inertia

Step-by-step explanation:

As per law of inertia we know that if an object is having more inertia then it is difficult to change state of motion.

Inertia is the property of mass of an object which always resist to change the state of motion of the object.

If an object has more inertia then it is more difficult to change the state of motion.

Now we know that we have one bowling ball and one basket ball, since bowling ball is having more mass then it must have more inertia so it is difficult to start the motion in bowling ball.

So correct answer will be

the bowling ball, because it has more mass and therefore more inertia
