When the net force on an object is zero, the correct statement is:

The object is at rest.

However, it's also important to note that if the object is already in motion, it will continue to move at a constant velocity (which means it won't be speeding up or slowing down). So, the other scenarios of changing direction, speeding up, or slowing down would not apply when the net force is zero.
