Actually, option B describes a situation where balanced forces are acting on the object, because the pushing and pulling forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in zero net force.
The correct answer is D, where two people standing on opposite sides of a large tire pull it with equal force in opposite directions. The forces are unbalanced because they are not equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in a net force that causes the tire to move.
