B.inertia
C.shape
D.structure
Answers
As a matter of fact, Earth has a lot of gravitational force as compared to the moon that made moon to be attracted towards Earth.
Hence, it made the moon to take a zigzag position and never end up in a straight line.
But the moon has inertia that made it move forward and resist the change.

The correct options to the answer is option B. Inertia. Inertia is the inherent property of an object to remain in its state of rest or motion without being disturbed. The moon is rotating in around the surface of earth in a fixed orbit with a fixed velocity. Since the mass of moon is extremely large so it posses great amount of inertia which made it to remain in its state for a long period of time.
