Answer:

A

Explanation:

The net force on an object is positive if it is moving to the right:

ΣF > 0

where, in this case, the forces to the right are positive, and the forces to the left are negative.

Calculating the forces for each answer choice:

A. ΣF = 8N - 6N

         = 2N > 0 (positive)

B. ΣF = 8N - 10N

         = -2N < 0 (negative)

C. ΣF = 10N - 10N

         = 0N  (no force)

D. ΣF = 8N - 13N

         = -5N < 0 (negative)

So, the toy is likely to accelerate with the applied forces diagrammed by answer option A.
