Explanation:

Step1: Apply Newton's first law

According to Newton's first - law of motion (the law of inertia), an object in motion will stay in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.

Step2: Analyze the forces on the block

The block is on a frictionless surface and after the initial tap (which gives it an initial velocity), there is no net force acting on it horizontally (since there is no friction and no other horizontal forces mentioned).

Answer:

D. constant speed
