Solution

The correct option is C the body will be either at rest or in the state of uniform motion
When a body or a system is in equilibrium, there is no net tendency to change. Similarly when no force is acting to make a body move in a line, the body is in translational equilibrium; when no force is acting to make the body turn, the body is in rotational equilibrium.
