The correct option is: (C) 13.9 N.
Below you see the free body diagram of the object, at the instant when the string on the left breaks. It is assumed in the figure that the tension in the string is represented by F and the weight of the object by W.
The net force acting on the object in the horizontal direction is:
Therefore the net force in the horizontal direction is 9.8 N.
Similarly, the net force acting the vertical direction is:
Therefore, the net force in the vertical direction is 9.8 N.
The magnitude of net force on the object is:
Therefore, the net force on the object is 13.9 N, and (C) is the correct option.

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless
horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to
each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same
radius and mass m is placed over the void created by
the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls
kept on the floor to each other if the system remains
in equilibrium.
