OpenStudy (badhi):

according to newton's second law, if a body moves in a straight line with a constant speed, the resultant force on the body should be zero. According to it, A) is incorrect. B) is also incorrect since there can be a frictional force and some other force acting against it which makes the resultant force equal to zero. C) is also incorrect according to the above theory D) is the answer
