Solution

The correct option is A The block will move towards the direction of F1 force

Since the forces are unequal, they are unbalanced. Unbalanced forces cause motion.

The direction of motion is in the direction of the greater force. In this case, F1 is the greater force, so the body will move in the direction of F1 force.

Thus, option A is correct.
