Solution

The correct option is D None of the above
The premise of question is external force is zero and conclusion is state of motion of body will be at rest or non uniform motion. However, the non uniform motion is only applicable in case of external force being applied to body, hence the statement is false.
So, given statement is stated by none of Newton's laws.
