Solution

The correct option is D Force can change the shape and size of an object.
The shape and size of the rubber ball changes when it is squeezed. The force applied on the ball is equal and opposite, so the resultant of this force does not move the object, instead, the object gets deformed as long as the force is applied. Thus, this activity shows that force can change the shape and size of an object.
