Solution

The correct option is C Friend B will move towards the box.
When a body moves closer to us on the application of force, then such a force is called the force of the pull. Friend A is trying to push the box where the body moves away from him. Friend B is applying force to pull the box where the body moves towards him. In both push and pull of the box, force is associated with it which causes motion of the body.
