For the free body diagram shown in the figure,four forces are applied in the $x$ and $y$ directions. What additional force must be applied and at what angle with the positive $x$-axis so that the net acceleration of the body is zero?

  • A
    $\sqrt{2} \text{ N}, 45^{\circ}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2} \text{ N}, 135^{\circ}$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \text{ N}, 30^{\circ}$
  • D
    $2 \text{ N}, 45^{\circ}$
