Answer: option B. a car driving on a straight freeway at 60 miles.

Explanation:

A balance forces are said to act on an object when net force on an object is zero and the object is either at rest or moves with constant speed without changing direction.

In option A, C, and D the objects are changing direction during their motion. In option B, a car moves on a straight freeway in a single direction at constant speed of 60 miles per hour. Hence, the correct demonstration of balanced forces is by option B.
