If the net force on an object is zero,

B)the object must be at rest.
C)the object's acceleration must be zero.
D)there can be no friction acting on the object.

If the net force on an object is zero, it means that the sum of all the forces acting on the object is zero. In such a case, the object may be in motion, but its acceleration must be zero. This means that the object will either remain at rest or continue to move with a constant velocity (in a straight line), but it will not change its speed or direction. Therefore, options A, B, and D do not necessarily apply.
