A) A constant force is being applied to it in the direction opposite of motion.
B) Its acceleration is in the same direction as it velocity.

D) A constant force is being applied to it perpendicular to the direction of motion.
E) The net force on the object is zero.

An object moving with constant non-zero velocity has zero acceleration, meaning the net force acting on it must be zero according to Newton's first law of motion. This is because a constant velocity indicates that there is no change in speed or direction, implying no net force is acting on the object.
