Detailed Solution

The ability of a body to resist change is referred to as inertia. Unless acted upon by an external force, Newton's first law of motion states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line.

Mass is directly proportional to inertia.

If the mass is large, the inertia is large as well, and vice versa. Because the stone's mass is greater than that of the man. As a result, the stone has more inertia. As a result, option 2 is correct.
