To find:

Most likely values that belong in box C and box D.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion, the net force acting on an object is equal to the product of the mass of the object and the acceleration of the object produced due to the net force.

That is,


\vec{F}=m\vec{a}

Thus the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.

It is given that in the third trail, the box moves towards Christie. Thus the net force is directed towards the Christie. Thus the force applied by Christie must be greater than the force applied by Daisy.

Final answer:

Thus the correct answer is option C.
