The arrows represent forces being applied to a box on a frictionless surface.  Which combination of forces will give the box the greatest acceleration?
      
Sum Forces = ma

The Sum of Forces is a vector quantity thus direction is important.  The greatest value for the force will occur when the two forces are in the same direction.

A has the smallest sum of forces because the two forces are in oppostion.

D has the largest sum of forces because the two forces are in the same direction.

The Correct Answer is D.
