Solution

The correct option is B Unbalanced force
We know that balanced forces mean that these forces will not produce net momentum to the body.But unbalanced forces provide net momentum to the object.
During impact, the direction of the ball and its speed changes. Hence, momentum changes. Thus, an unbalanced force is applied on the ball.
