The three correct reasons the ball comes to a stop are:

A. Friction and drag oppose the motion of the ball.

B. There is no force acting to move the ball forward.

D. The forces opposing the ball are unbalanced.

These reasons explain how friction and drag slow down the ball, and when there is no forward force acting on it, it eventually comes to a stop. The unbalanced forces create a net force that stops the motion of the ball.
