The answer is “Lat Pull Downs.”
You are not pushing any weight when performing this exercise, you are pulling.

Further explanation (for the other answer choices):
-When performing the bench press exercise you are pushing the weight away from you.
-When performing the overhead press exercise you push the weight above you (over your head).
-When performing the tricep dip exercise you are pushing your body up after dipping down.
