If the total net force on a system is zero and assuming the mass remains constant, the correct response is:

The acceleration is zero.

According to Newton's first law of motion, if the net force acting on an object is zero, the object will either remain at rest or continue to move at a constant velocity. In this case, since there is no net force, there is no acceleration.
