Correct me if I'm wrong, but inertia is the ability of a object to resist acceleration right?
Long time sense I have worked with Newtonian mechanics, but I think we can solve the problem this way:
$$F=ma \leftarrow \rightarrow a=\frac{ F }{ m }$$
$$\Delta a=\frac{ F }{ \Delta m }$$
F : The force an object is exposed to.
m : Mass
a: Acceleration

We make the conclusion from Newton's 2. law of motion, that the greater the mass of an object is, the less will a object accelerate, when exposed from a force?

yeah, your argument makes sense. With that logic the answer would be A, as A is heavier and thus resists acceleration more than B
