Solution

The correct option is D have zero net force on it
The object moving with constant velocity must have zero acceleration i.e. $a_{n e t} = 0$ . From Newton's IInd law the net external force must be zero in case of zero acceleration.
Net external force acting on the object $F_{n e t} = m a_{n e t} = 0$
Hence answer D is correct.
