It decreases.

Answer 1

When the net applied force acting on a box increases, the acceleration of the box 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, the correct response is:

It increases.
