Solution
The correct option is B Both A & B Muscular force applied by the hand of the person carrying the bucket and gravitational forces act on plastic bucket. The force acting on the bucket does not bring a change in state of motion because they are acting in opposite direction with equal magnitudes. Therefore the net force on the bucket remains zero.
