Answer: two football players pushing a tackling sled.

Explanation: both players push the sled in the same direction, so their forces add. The other examples involve forces in opposite directions (pushup: muscles up vs gravity down; tug-of-war: dogs pull opposite ways) or a single applied force opposed by friction/coil (hose reel).
