The best example of Newton's 1st Law (inertia) from the given options is:
A tennis player throws the tennis ball into the air for a serve and the ball falls to the ground.
This situation illustrates inertia because the ball will continue in motion (if neglected air resistance) until acted upon by another force (gravity, in this case). The ball's descent due to gravity is a demonstration of the principle of inertia, as it will not stop moving until it hits the ground.
