Answer:C. 10N

Explanation:

The applied force needed to maintain a constant velocity is 10N. This is because the moving force acting on the body will always be equal to the frictional force if the velocity of the body is constant.

But note that this is not the case if the body ia accelerating. If the body is accelerating then the frictional force will not be able to overcome the moving force acting on the body and such the moving force will be greater than the frictional force in that regards.
