Two equal and opposite parallel forces whose lines of action are different, can be replaced by a couple acting at centre of the line joining the point of application of force.

Forces will have zero resultant but will create a couple.

The resultant can't be applied parellely. So the answer is incorrect.

The resultant force is zero and a couple will take place.

A couple can be balanced by a single force but can be balanced only by a couple of opposite sense.
