Answer:

B)They tend to remain in motion along a straight-line path.

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that an object continues to remain in its state of rest or motion until an external unbalanced force acts on it. It is also known as law of inertia. It means it resists any change in its state of motion.

Thus, an object in motion tends to remain in motion along a straight line path.

Option B is correct.
