Solution

The correct option is B

False


For a body at rest, gravity and normal forces may be acting on the body but they cancel out each other and hence net force acting on the body is zero, i.e balanced forces are acting on the body, which keeps the body at rest.
Therefore, if a body is at rest, it does not mean that no force is acting on it.
