Solution

The correct option is A

no net external force is acting on it


According to Newton's first law, an object moves with a uniform velocity when the net external force acting on it is zero. As the net force is zero, the acceleration of the object is also zero, which implies, the velocity of the body is not changing over time and the body moves an equal distance in equal invertal of time.
