The correct choice is: "It only moves forward because there is a net force forward."
Reason: the upward and downward forces cancel (so no net vertical force), and the horizontal forces do not cancel — the resultant horizontal (net) force is 29 N forward — so the animal accelerates forward in the direction of that net force.
