Final answer:

The net force on a soccer ball being kicked with an applied force of 200 N and facing 10 N of air resistance is 190 N, answer option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the scenario where a student is kicking a soccer ball to the right with a force of 200 N and experiencing a force of friction due to air resistance of 10 N, the net force can be calculated by subtracting the force of friction from the applied force. Thus, the net force = applied force - friction force, which in this case is 200 N - 10 N = 190 N. Therefore, the correct answer is C) 190 N.
