Solution

The correct option is D

to keep the body in uniform velocity


According to the law of inertia or Newton’s first law of motion, a body in the state of rest or of uniform motion remains in the state of rest or of uniform motion unless it is acted upon by an external force. Hence, a body in uniform motion requires no force to keep it in uniform motion.
