A boy holds a box steadily in the air. Which picture correctly shows the forces applied to the box?

A.


B.


C.


D.

Unfortunately, as a text-based AI, I am unable to visually present pictures. However, in this scenario, the correct picture would show two forces acting on the box. One force would be the gravitational force pulling the box down towards the ground and the other force would be the boy's hand pushing the box up to keep it in the air.
