The best statement that explains the result of the box not moving when two people push it from opposite directions is: Balanced forces do not cause motion.
In this scenario, the two forces being applied by each person are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, resulting in a net force of zero. Since there is no net force acting on the box, it remains at rest.
