Answer:

C. Terminal Velocity

Step-by-step explanation:

Terminal velocity is the maximum velocity an object can experience under free-fall. It occurs when the force of drag (air resistance) matches the force of gravity, causing zero net force. Since
F_(net)=ma, zero net force means zero acceleration.

Remember that an object can be moving at some velocity and still have zero net force. The zero net force just indicates zero acceleration, meaning the velocity is constant and is not changing.
