Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.
We know that

F = m \times a

;
Where F = Force acting on a body;
m = mass of the body;
a = acceleration of the body.
If a body is moving with a constant velocity there is no acceleration and hence no force is acting on the body. But since the object is moving with a constant velocity it is displaced and hence, a body can be displaced without any force acting on it.
Therefore, the correct statement would be, it is possible for a body to be displaced without any force acting on it.
