(a) The box will have a translational acceleration but not an angular acceleration.
(b) The box will have both a translational and an angular acceleration.
(c) The box will have an angular acceleration but not a translational acceleration.
(d) The box will have neither a translational nor an angular acceleration.
(e) It is not possible to determine whether the box will have a translational or an angular acceleration.
