Force is simply the pull or push of an object.
The information needed by the student is the direction and the source of the force
First, we look at what balanced and unbalanced forces mean
Unbalanced forces simply mean that different magnitudes of forces act on an object.
Take for instance,
Assume forces of 2 newtons and 3 newtons act in different directions, on a ball.
Such forces are unbalanced forces
Balanced forces mean that the same magnitude of forces act on the object in opposite directions.
Take for instance,
Assume forces of 2 newtons and 2 newtons act in opposite directions, on a ball.
Such forces are balanced forces, because they are equal, and they act in opposite direction.
Having explained what both forces are:
The student must determine where the force is coming from.
The text "where the force is coming from" means that, the student must determine the direction of the force (i.e. right, left, up, down or whatever direction) and the source of the force
Hence, option (b) is correct.
See attachment for illustrations of both forces
