I think it's velocity, because when an object stands in inertia, or it has velocity equals to zero, or it has constant velocity because there is no friction to stop the object.

Answer:

Option A is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A massive object has a more tendency to resist changes in its state of motion.

Mass is directly proportional to inertia.

More the mass more the inertia. That is why an elephant running takes more time to change direction than a cat running.

Option A is the correct answer.
