The correct answer to the question is A) Objects have zero acceleration.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before answering the question, first we have to understand dynamic equilibrium .

A body moving with uniform velocity is said to be in dynamic equilibrium if the net external forces acting on the body is zero. Hence, the body is under balanced forces.

If the external forces acting on a body is not balanced, then the body will accelerate which will destroy its equilibrium condition. Hence, the necessary and sufficient condition for a body to be in dynamic equilibrium is that the forces are balanced.

When a body is in dynamic equilibrium, the body moves with uniform velocity along a straight line unless and until it is compelled by some external unbalanced forces.

Hence, the rate of change of velocity or acceleration of the body will be zero.
