B Correct answer
Explanation

Inertia is the property of matter that resists changes in its state of motion (rest or constant velocity). It's directly proportional to mass and described by Newton's First Law. Resistivity (A) is a material property, conductance (C) relates to current flow, and momentum (D) is mass × velocity, not resistance to change.
