Which of the following predictions is correct about why the object does not accelerate downward?

Question

An object is at rest on the ground. The object experiences a downward gravitational force from Earth.

Answer 1

I cannot see any predictions listed.

However, this might help.

Acceleration occurs due to NET force. Even though the earth is exerting a downward force, there is an equal and opposite upward force exerted by whichever surface the object is resting on. Therefore no net force. Hence no acceleration. Mind you this is not a reference to Newton's third law even though equal and opposite forces are mentioned.
