Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation

A particle is in dynamic equilibrium if the resultant force acting on it is zero. This means that the sum of all forces acting on the particle is zero, resulting in no acceleration or change in velocity. Therefore, the particle can either be at rest or moving with a constant velocity
