Without inertia, how would an object that is experiencing a centripetal force behave?

In circular motion, centripetal force points toward the circle’s center. Inertia normally keeps an object moving along its tangent while that inward force continually changes its direction. Without inertia, it would not keep moving along the tangent, so it would move in a line toward the center: choice B.
