The appropriate statement supported by the data regarding inertia and acceleration, when a constant force is acting on the objects, is:
"An object with a higher mass has more inertia which causes it to speed up less quickly."
This aligns with the concept that inertia is related to mass; greater mass means greater inertia, which results in a slower acceleration when the same amount of force is applied.
