The best statement that describes why the refrigerator does not move is:
**"The person does not apply enough force to the refrigerator, so the forces are still balanced."**
In this scenario, the frictional force opposing the person's push is equal to the force she is applying, resulting in balanced forces, which means the refrigerator does not move.
**"The person does not apply enough force to the refrigerator, so the forces are still balanced."**
