Answer:

Chest experiences the friction forces towards right

Explanation:

Friction forces can be defined as a force a body experiences when it is made to slide against the surface. Friction force always acts to stop the the body which is moving. To stop the body, it always acts in the opposite directions to the motion of the body. Therefore, if the treasure chest is dragged across a sandy beach to the left, the frictional forces will act in the right direction.
