A Correct answer
Explanation

Inertia is indeed the property of matter that causes it to resist any change in its state of motion. Objects with more mass have more inertia - they're harder to start moving, stop moving, or change direction. This is why a heavy truck is harder to stop than a bicycle moving at the same speed. The definition given in the question is accurate.
