Solution

The correct option is D $0.5 N$
Given:
$F_{1} = 6 N$ towards right
$F_{2} = 5.5 N$ towards left

The forces acting on the object are opposite in direction and different in magnitude.
$∴$ Net force:
$F_{n e t} = F_{1} - F_{2}$
$F_{n e t} = 6 - 5.5 = 0.5 N$

The direction of net force is towards right.
