Solution

The correct options are
B Both the forces are acting in opposite directions.
C Both the forces are of equal magnitude.
It is given that the state of motion of the object did not change. The state of motion of an object remains the same when the net force acting on it is zero. In the above case, the net force acting on the object is zero. Hence, both the forces have equal magnitude and opposite direction
