The law of inertia states that an object:

e. Will do all of the above.

Why?

Newton's First Law or the Law of inertia, states that an object at rest will always remain at rest if a force does not act on/upon it. Also, when an object is moving describing a straight line, if a force does not act upon it, it will keep the motion forever.

According to the Law, if an object is moving at constant velocity (same speed and same direction) it will keep the motion unless an outside force acts on it.

So, the correct option will be:

e. The object will do all of the above options.
