If the total net force on a system is zero and the mass remains constant, then the correct statement is:
**The acceleration is zero.**
According to Newton's first law of motion, if no net force acts on an object, it will maintain its current state of motion, which means either remaining at rest or moving at a constant velocity. As a result, the acceleration must be zero.
