Unbalanced forces act on an object when there is a net force acting on it, causing it to accelerate or change its state of motion.

In the provided scenarios:

1. **Two people stand on the same side of a large tire. Both people pull the tire with equal force.** (Balanced forces – net force is zero)

2. **Two people stand on opposite sides of a large tire. Both people pull the tire with equal force.** (Balanced forces – net force is zero)

3. **Two people stand on the same side of a large tire. One person pushes the tire and the other pulls the tire with equal force.** (Balanced forces – net force is zero)

4. **Two people stand on opposite sides of a large tire. Both people push the tire with equal force.** (Balanced forces – net force is zero)

The situation that describes unbalanced forces is:

- **Two people stand on the same side of a large tire. One person pushes the tire and the other pulls the tire with equal force.**

This scenario involves one person pushing and the other pulling in different directions, resulting in a net force, indicating that the forces are unbalanced.

So, the correct response is:
**Two people stand on the same side of a large tire. One person pushes the tire and the other pulls the tire with equal force.**
