The correct answer is **c**. The object will slow down and eventually stop moving.
When a balanced force is applied in the opposite direction to the motion of an object moving at a constant speed, it creates an unbalanced force that will cause the object to decelerate. This force will reduce the object's speed, and if the force is strong enough and applied for a sufficient amount of time, it will eventually bring the object to a stop.
