A. An unbalanced force can change both the object's direction and speed.

Reason: Newton's First Law says an object keeps its velocity (speed and direction) unless a net (unbalanced) force acts on it. A net force produces acceleration, which changes the object's velocity — that is, its speed, its direction, or both.
