Solution

The correct option is D
$100 N$

Given mass of the block, $m$ = $10 k g$

Weight of block, $W$ = $m g$ = $100 N$

The block is applying a force of $100 N$ on the floor. According to the third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, the floor will apply a force of 100 N on the block in the upward direction.
