The correct response is: Yes, this is an example of a force because a force is a push or pull.
Even though the box does not move, the person is still applying a force to it by pushing. Forces can exist without causing an object to move, especially when there are other opposing forces (like friction or the wall preventing movement) that counteract the push.
