Answer : Option D) The object will continue moving towards north.

Explanation : When an object is moving north at a constant speed and a force of 5 N begins to push the object east at the same moment that a force of 5 N begins to push it west. It will continue to move in north direction as the forces applied from east and west sides are equal; which will get canceled and the object will have no effect of it.

the object will continue to move north because there is no opposing force form the south and the other forces canceled each other out
