Answer:

c. inertia.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton’s First Law of Motion or the Law of Inertia a body at rest continues to be at rest unless acted upon by some force. A body in uniform motion continues to move in uniform motion unless acted upon by some external force. The external motion may change the uniform motion of the object.
