Question

Study the image. Then answer the following question.

A box on a ramp that slopes diagonally downward from left to right. Four force vectors are shown. Arrow A is parallel to the box and points up the ramp to the left. Arrow B is perpendicular to the box and points upward and to the right. Arrow C is parallel to the box and points down the ramp to the right. Arrow D is perpendicular to the ground and points straight downward.

None of the force vectors represent the tension force on the box.

Answer 2

I think they mean A although the question phrasing stinks. Perhaps the drawing shows a rope :)

You're right, my apologies for the confusion. Looking at the context you provided, if there is a rope involved, then Arrow A would represent the tension force on the box.
