Question

If an object moves in a straight line with a constant speed we can conclude that
Options
A the object is unaccelerated.
B there is no net force acting on the object.
C All the other options.
Correct Answer
D there is no unbalanced force acting on the object.
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Constant speed in a straight line means constant velocity, so acceleration is zero. By Newton's first law, zero acceleration implies no net force (or unbalanced force). So all options A, B, and D are correct, thus C is the answer.

Hint

Newton's first law: constant velocity implies no net force.
