The best example of Newton's 1st law (inertia) among the given situations is:
A: A bird takes flight from the ground.
Newton's 1st law states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force. In this situation, the bird was at rest on the ground, and it required an external force (the bird's wing movements) to change its state from rest to motion.
