  • A A body's tendency to resist changes in its state of motion ✔ ✖
  • B A body's tendency to change its state of motion ✔ ✖
  • C A body's tendency to move in a straight line ✔ ✖
  • D A body's tendency to move with uniform velocity ✔ ✖
Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation

Inertia is the property of a body that tends to resist any change in its state of motion. This means that a body at rest tends to remain at rest, and a body in motion tends to continue moving with a constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
