Solution

The correct option is D

All of the above


The action force acts on the football and reaction force acts on the boy, thus we can conclude that action and reaction forces act on two different bodies.

According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are of the same magnitude, so option B is correct.

Since action and reaction forces act on two different bodies, they cannot cancel each other, so option C is also correct.
