Explanation:

Step1: Analyze north - south forces

The forces exerted by Dog A (150 N north) and Dog B (150 N south) are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The net force in the north - south direction is $150 - 150=0$ N.

Step2: Consider east - west forces

Dog C is pulling with a 40 N force to the east and there is no opposing force in the east - west direction.

Answer:

D. Dog C
