The scenario that best describes two counteracting forces on an object is "two children pulling apart a wishbone." In this case, each child applies force in opposite directions, creating a situation where the forces act against each other. This is a clear example of counteracting forces.

In contrast, the other scenarios involve forces that are either acting in the same direction or are not opposing each other directly.
