The correct answer is "The rigid body can have rotational and transnational motion, as long as it's transnational and angular accelerations are equal to zero."

Explanation:

A rigid body by definition does not deform when forces act on it. In case of static equilibrium a rigid body cannot have any sort of motion while in case of dynamic equilibrium it can move but with constant velocities only thus having no acceleration weather transnational or angular.
