Gravity? Im almost sure thats it
After impact velocity = 14.968 ft/s
Weight and mass of Bullet and wooden block:
Bullet: w = 1oz = 1/16 lb m = 0.001941 lb
wooden block : W = 5lb M = 0.15528 lb
velocity of block and bullet immediately after impact:
Σmv1 + ΣImp = mv2
Resolving vertical component
( m× v₀cos30⁰) + 0 = ( m+M) v'
v' = ( m× v₀cos30⁰)/ (m+M)
v' = 14.968 ft/s
Horizontal and vertical component of the impulse exerted by block on the bullet:
Here we will apply the principle of impulse and momentum.
Horizontal component:
-mv₀ cos30⁰ + RxΔt =0
RxΔt = mv₀sin30⁰
= 0.001941 × 1400sin30⁰
RxΔt = 1.3587 lb.s
Vertical component:
-mv₀cos30⁰ + RyΔt = -mv'
RyΔt = m( v₀cos30⁰-v')
RyΔt = 0.001941(1400cos30⁰ - 14.968)
= 2.32 lb.s

The answer would be:
C. An unbalanced force has acted on the vehicle.
The presence of an unbalanced force will accelerate an object, the second law of motion dictates this (Although not explicitly). Lets knock out the rest of the choices.
If a balance force acted on the vehicle, then the vehicle would be at rest. The mass of the vehicle did not change (Unless it falls apart, which I doubt). The direction of the vehicle does not change and it will only do so if another force and a stronger one at that will counteract the current net force acting on the vehicle.
Hope you got your answer here, although you did not ask for an explanation, maybe this will help you figure some of the other questions you have on your own.
Answer:
The objects kinetic energy increases as it falls from some height.
