Solution

The correct option is C be in uniform motion
According to Newton's first law of motion, ''An object remains in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless an external force acts on it."
In the absence of a net force, there will be no change in velocity of the object. Therefore, the object will be in uniform motion.
