The statement that best explains the result of the box not moving when two people push on it from opposite directions is:
**A. Balanced forces do not cause motion.**
This is because the forces applied by the two people are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in a net force of zero. Therefore, the box remains at rest.
