Hang a weight at rest at position B. Then raise it to position A and release. The lowest position it reaches is C.  (During this vibration, the spring has only been stretched, never compressed.) Then sketch a force diagram for the block at positions A, B, C, B, and then A again, as it moves through a complete vibration cycle. Your arrow sizes should reflect which force is the largest. Check with your group members and make some adjustment.
