Solution

The correct option is B
static equilibrium

When a fulcrum is kept at $50 c m$ mark of a uniform meter rod it remains in an exactly horizontal position. The reason behind this is the center of mass is situated at $50 c m$ mark, and when a fulcrum is kept at that point the entire mass of the rod is on the fulcrum leading to balancing condition.
