Solution

The answer is B. a straight line. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This is also known as the law of inertia. So, if no force was acting on a moving object, it would continue to move in a straight line.
