Solution
The correct options are A No force is acting on the body. B Net force acting on the body is zero. When no force is acting on the body, the body will always be at rest. When the body is at rest even when some forces are acting, the net force is zero. This means the sum of magnitude of the forces acting on the body in opposite directions cancel each other out.
