“What stock can I invest in that will earn money with low risk?”

I’m glad you are thinking about investing while also considering the risk involved. Clearly you understand the relationship to risk and return (low risk = low return) and I am wondering about the goal of your investment plan.
Since you ask specifically about “a stock,” I want to focus on the benefit of diversification (not taking the risk of putting all of your eggs in one basket) and using mutual funds to begin your investment plan. If you invest in one stock, you are subject to the ups and downs of that stock with no protection. The benefit of a mutual fund (a basket of stocks and/or bonds) is that when one is up, another is down and you are balancing out your risk.
There are several apps to help you get started with investing. I am using Acorns. I find it simple to use and it keeps me motivated to invest regularly for my future goals.
