Solution

The correct option is A The block will move towards the direction of $F_{1}$ force.
Since forces are unequal, they are unbalanced. Unbalanced forces causes motion.
The direction of motion is along the direction of greater force. In this case $F_{1}$ is the greater force, so body will move along $F_{1}$ force.
