It remains the same.
It remains the same.

It increases.

Answer 1

When the net applied force acting on the box increases, the acceleration also increases. This is based on Newton's second law of motion, which states that acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting on an object and inversely proportional to its mass (F = ma). Therefore, if the net force increases while the mass remains constant, the acceleration will increase as well.

So the correct response is:

It increases.
