Answer 1

In the scenario described, the correct response is: An unbalanced force is affecting the objects.

When Taj rolled the ball and knocked down all the pins, the force exerted by the bowling ball was enough to overcome the forces acting on the pins (primarily gravity and any friction), resulting in them falling down. This represents an unbalanced force since the motion of the pins changed from standing still to moving (falling down).
