Answer 1

The statement that describes an object acted on by balanced forces is:

A bus is stopped at a station waiting to pick up passengers.

In this scenario, the forces acting on the bus are balanced, meaning the net force is zero, which allows the bus to remain at rest. The other options describe situations where unbalanced forces are at play, resulting in acceleration or deceleration.
