A)Motion at a constant speed of 0.25 m/sec
B)Acceleration at a rate of 4 m/sec/sec
C)Acceleration at a rate of 200 m/sec/sec
D)Motion at a constant speed of 50 m/sec

To determine the motion of an object, we need to use Newton's second law: F = ma (where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration). 
In this case, F = 200 N and m = 50 kg. Plugging these values into the equation, we get: 
200 = 50a 
Solving for a, we get: 
a = 4 m/sec^2 
Therefore, the object will accelerate at a rate of 4 m/sec^2.
