Given that the block hangs from the ceiling by a rope.

We have to find forces acting on the block.

As the block hangs from a certain height, the gravitational pull will be present.

So there is the force of gravity due to the mass of the object acting downwards.

There is no spring attached to the block, so there is no force due to the spring.

As it is connected through a rope, there will be tension in the rope acting upwards.

Thus, gravity and tension are present and spring is absent.
