The correct answer is (c.) resists a change in motion of an object. Inertia basically resists any physical changes in an object in terms of its state. As stated in the Newton's first law of motion or also known as law of inertia, an object that is at rest will stay at rest and an object that is in motion will stay in motion. In short, an object will keep doing what it is already doing UNLESS net force is acted upon it,
