Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of inertia is that an object will stay at rest or keep moving unless an external force is acted upon it. this means it will try and resist a change in motion and stay how it is.

The inertia of any object or body is said to resist the change in motion.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

The inertia of a body or an object is its inherent property to be able to show resistance towards any action which is about to cause the change of its motion. That is, if a body is in position of rest, it must continue to be in rest as per the inertia of rest of the body.

Similarly, when a body is in motion, the body must continue to be in motion as per the inertia of motions of the body. This is in accordance with the law of inertia. Inertia can only be overcome by application of an external imbalanced force. This forms the first law of motions given by Newton.
