A student pushes a box with a force of 15 newtons (N) to make it slide across the floor. Once the box starts moving, a frictional force of 5 N acts upon it. If the student continues to push the box with a force of 15 N, what will happen to the box?

a. The box will stop moving forward.

b. The box will move forward at a steady speed.

c. The box will move forward at a decreased speed.

d. The box will move forward at an increasing speed.
