Only inductors act to oppose changes in current in an AC circuit through the property of inductance. Inductors resist changes in current by generating a counter electromotive force that opposes the change in current. Resistors dissipate energy and do not resist changes in current. Capacitors store and release energy, but do not actively resist changes in current.
