Correct answer: inertia
The law referred to in the question is the law of inertia.
To answer this question, we need to understand Newton's First Law and identify the correct term associated with it.
Newton's First Law states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will continue to move at a constant velocity (which may be zero) unless acted upon by an external force. This property of objects to resist changes in their motion is known as inertia.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is inertia.
