Solution

The correct options are
A if it is not accelerating
B if it is in rest only
C if it is moving with constant speed
If a body is acted upon by balanced forces then the net force acting on the body is $z e r o$ .
We know from Newton's law of motion $F = m a$
If $F = 0$ then $a = 0$
Thus, the body will not accelerate. It will either be at rest or move with a constant velocity.
