ANS:C - interia

The inherent property of a body which offers reluctance to change its state of rest or uniform motion is: "Inertia." Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. It's a fundamental property of matter and is closely related to the mass of the object. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia and resistance to changes in motion. Therefore, the correct term is "inertia."
