The acceleration is increasing.

The velocity is decreasing.
The velocity is decreasing.

The velocity is increasing.
The velocity is increasing.

Answer 1

If the total net force on a system is zero and the mass remains constant, then according to Newton's first law of motion, the acceleration is zero. This means that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue to move at a constant velocity (which includes the possibility of that velocity being zero).

So, the correct response is:

The acceleration is zero.
