The best explanation for the result that the box does not move despite being pushed by two people from opposite directions is:
Balanced forces do not cause motion.
This indicates that the forces exerted by the two people are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, resulting in a net force of zero, which means the box remains at rest.
