It's neutral equilibrium A ball rolling, are cylinder rolling are both examples of neutral equilibrium where a new equilibrium condition is adopted without change in the position of C.G.
So neutral equilibrium is the correct option.
So neutral equilibrium is the correct option.

If the particle is slightly displaced from its orignal position and it doesnt come back to its initial position then its unstable equilibrium, so in the case of convex surface.

It depends on the surface on which the cylinder is lying.
If it lies on the concave surface then it will be in stable equilibrium.
If it lies on convex surface then it will be in unstable equilibrium.
If it lies on the plane surface then it will be in neutral equilibrium.
If it lies on the concave surface then it will be in stable equilibrium.
If it lies on convex surface then it will be in unstable equilibrium.
If it lies on the plane surface then it will be in neutral equilibrium.

If smooth cylinder lying on a horizontal surface then it is said to neutral equilibrium.
In covex surface neutral equilibrium is not possible.

Why can't it be neutral? Please explain.

Convex surface is upper than it un blanced.

A body can not Stable at Convex Surface that's why it Unstable.

Firstly, that is smooth surface hence it doesn't have any friction.
Then it's still unstable because of the absence of friction in that case.

Here surface is smooth so how it can roll?
