A box slides along a rough concrete surface and comes to a stop.  Which of the following best explains why the box comes to a stop?

• it is the natural tendency of an object in motion to come to a stop
• the concrete exerts a frictional force on the box that opposes its motion 
• there is no force pushing the box forward, so it stops
• the mass of the box causes it to slow down
