The correct answer is **C. Force.**
A body that is initially at rest will remain at rest due to inertia (which is a property of matter to resist changes in its state of motion), but it requires a force to cause it to start moving. So while inertia explains why the body remains at rest, it is the application of a force that changes that state and causes motion.
