Solution

The correct option is B
in the state of motion

When a body remains in the same state of motion (translational or rotational) under the influence of several forces, the body is said to be in dynamic equilibrium. For example- a stone tied at the end of a string when whirled in a circular path with a uniform speed is in dynamic equilibrium.
