Answer: A. 0 N

Explanation: According to Newton's First Law of Motion (Law of Inertia), an object will continue to move at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force. Since the table is frictionless and the velocity remains constant, the net external force required is exactly 0 Newtons.
