The correct answer is inertia.

The correct answer is inertia. Newton's First Law of Motion is often referred to as the law of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. In simpler terms, if an object is at rest, it will stay at rest unless a force acts upon it. Similarly, if an object is in motion, it will continue to move at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
