Answer choice would be D, answer choice B, is the boxes net force. Velocity = distance/time.    The correct answer is D. I hope this helps!

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change in velocity over change in time is defined as acceleration.

Mathematically, Acceleration =
(\Delta v)/(\Delta t)

where
\Delta v = change in velocity


\Delta t = change in time

Therefore, when a force of 2 N to the left and 3 N to the right then box will experience acceleration as velocity is also changing with time.

Thus, we can conclude that a box experiences a force of 2 N to the left and 3 N to the right then it is true that the box will experience acceleration.
