While dusting a carpet, we give a sudden jerk or beat it with a stick, because

A

inertia of rest keeps the dust in its position and the dirt gets removed as the carpet moves away.

B

jerk compensates for the force of adhesion between the dust and carpet and the dust is removed.

C

inertia of motion removes the dust.

D

no inertia is involved in the process, it is simply due to practical experience.
