In the tug-of-war competition, if Team A has 3 members pulling with a force to the left, and Team B has 4 members pulling with a force to the right, what will happen to the rope if all members are pulling with the same amount of force?

• Team A will win because they have more members pulling with greater force.

• The rope will remain stationary because the forces from both teams are balanced.

• Team B will win because they have more members pulling in the opposite direction.

• The rope will move back and forth because the forces are unbalanced.
