Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The correct answer is normal and gravity. When the elevator is rising at a constant speed, the upward force of the normal force exerted by the elevator floor balances out the downward force of gravity. Tension would only be a force if there were a cable or rope involved in the situation.
