The right answer is B. either remain in its state of rest or in uniform motion

Newton’s First Law of motion states that a body at rest will remain at rest and body at motion will remain in uniform motion unless an unbalanced force acts on it to change its state of rest or of uniform motion. Hence if there is no external force acting on a body, it will either remain at rest or uniform motion.
