To find the acceleration of the object, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that:

\[ F = m \cdot a \]

where:
- \( F \) is the force applied (in Newtons),
- \( m \) is the mass of the object (in kilograms),
- \( a \) is the acceleration (in m/s²).

Given:
- \( F = 53 \, \text{N} \)
- \( m = 11 \, \text{kg} \)

We need to solve for \( a \):

\[ a = \frac{F}{m} \]

Substituting in the given values:

\[ a = \frac{53 \, \text{N}}{11 \, \text{kg}} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ a \approx 4.818 \, \text{m/s}^2 \]

Rounding to one decimal place, the acceleration is approximately:

\[ a \approx 4.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \]

Therefore, the correct answer is **4.8 m/s²**.
