    Answer:D

    Explanation:

    Torque adds up to zero therefore the object could both be turning and accelerating linearly.

    Torque is zero means that angular acceleration is zero i. e. object is rotating with constant angular velocity.

    Even if force is zero, object can move i. e. with a constant velocity.

    Thus Zero torque does not implies that object is not rotating.
