• C. Change its direction.
• D. Change its shape.

Answer 1

1. Force is an external agent capable of changing the state of rest or motion of a particular body. It has a magnitude and a direction
2. In physics, motion is defined as the change in position with respect to time. In simpler words, motion refers to the movement of a body. Typically, motion can either be described as:Change in speed and Change in direction
3. A force can do one of four things to an object:

a. Make it speed up - accelerate.

b. Make it slow down - decelerate.

c. Change its direction.

d. Change its shape.

Hence all are correct options.
