Answer:

C) The cart will not move.

Explanation:

In order for the cart to move, there must be a resultant force acting on it. In this case, the sum of all the forces acting on the cart is zero.

The two pulling forces are acting in opposite direction but of equal magnitudes. The forces cancel each other out and the cart will remain at rest.

<em>The correct option is C.</em>
