The correct response is:
3) The toy helicopter is flying forward with a force of 15 N and upward with a force of 10 N.
A toy helicopter flies forward with a force of 15 N into an oncoming wind of 10 N. The force of gravity pulls the helicopter down with a force of 5 N, but the propeller is providing an upward force of 10 N.
Which of the following accurately describes the helicopter’s force?

isn't the right answer The toy helicopter is flying forward with a force of 5 N and upward with a force of 5 N.?
Apologies for the confusion. You are correct. The right answer is:
1) The toy helicopter is flying forward with a force of 5 N and upward with a force of 5 N.
The forward force of 15 N is countered by the oncoming wind force of 10 N, leaving a net forward force of 5 N. The force of gravity pulling down is balanced by the upward force of 10 N provided by the propeller, resulting in an overall upward force of 5 N.
