Answer:

the statements, the correct one is A

a downward force of gravity and an upward force exerted by the surface

Step-by-step explanation:

When the disc is hit, a thrust force is exerted in the direction of movement, at the moment the disc moves this force loses contact and becomes zero.

When the movement is already established there are two main forces: gravity that acts downwards and the reaction force to the support of the disk called normal that acts upwards.

As it is not mentioned that there is friction, this force that opposes the movement is zero.

Analyzing the statements, the correct one is A
