The correct answer is:
b) The object will slow down and eventually stop moving.
When a balanced force is applied in the opposite direction of an object moving at a constant speed, it will cause the object to decelerate (slow down) until it eventually comes to a stop, assuming the applied force remains constant and no other forces act on it.
