Answer:

O inertia

Step-by-step explanation:

The moon's property that prevents it from being pulled inward by the Earth is called it's inertia.

Every object in the universal space have gravitational force of attraction to one another due to their masses.

An inertia is the reluctant of a body to move or the tendency of it to remain in constant motion.

Inertia entails the property of objects to remain at rest or continue in uniform motion.

As the force of gravity acts between the earth and the moon, inertia keeps a body in constant position.
