answeredThe correct response is:
The box exerts 10 N of force downward.
This is because the two ropes are exerting a combined upward force of 10 N (5 N from each rope), and since the forces are balanced and the box is stationary, the box must exert an equal and opposite force downward, which is 10 N.
