asymmetric forces question

Hope someone can help me with this one; used to have a good diagram on this but seem to have lost it,

Following an engine failure, a aircraft is then trimmed to fly straight and level. which statement is correct?

All the resultant asymmetric forces are equal and opposite, the aircraft is in balance with no yaw or side slip. The slip ball will be central

Thrust and drag are equal but not opposite, the rudder side force is unbalanced, which makes the aircraft side slip towards the failed engine

thrust and drag are equal but not opposite, the rudder side force is countered by a combination of the fuselage side force and the side component of thrust.

Thrust and drag are equal but not oppsoite, the rudder side force, is unbalanced which makes the aircraft side slip towards the live engine.
