The position-time graph for an object that remains still over time would be represented by **a horizontal line**. This indicates that the position does not change as time progresses.

The situation that describes a non-contact force acting on an object is **none of the provided responses**, as all the options involve contact forces.
However, a typical example of a non-contact force would be gravity or magnetic force. If you are looking for an option that could be contextualized, you might consider the force of gravity acting on the textbook when a person is picking it up, but in that context, the act itself involves contact.
