  • C Like parallel forces are internal forces, while unlike parallel forces are external forces. ✔ ✖
  • D There is no difference between like parallel forces and unlike parallel forces. ✔ ✖
Correct Answer

Explanation

Like parallel forces act in the same direction, while unlike parallel forces act in opposite directions. However, the magnitude of the forces is the key difference - like parallel forces are equal in magnitude, while unlike parallel forces may be unequal in magnitude. Therefore, the correct answer is B)
