The force is applied to the accelerating object that has a constant mass. Option A is correct.

<h3>What does Newton's second law of motion state?</h3>

The force applied to the object is the product of its mass and acceleration.

F = ma

Where,

F - force

m- mass

a - acceleration

From the equation, the force and the acceleration are in a proportional relation. The mass is not changing as given in the question.

Therefore, the force is applied to the accelerating object that has a constant mass.
