The correct situation in which the magnitude of the total force is greater than the magnitude of each of the individual forces is:

Four people stand on each side of a large box. All four people push the box with the same amount of force.

In this scenario, all four individuals on one side are applying their forces in the same direction, resulting in a combined total force that is significantly greater than the force exerted by each individual.

Two people stand on opposite sides of a large box. One pushes, and the other pulls with the same amount of force.
