Solution

The correct option is A The force of the fish points back while the force of the water points forward
The forces on the fish and water forms an action-reaction pair.
The force on the fish by water is in forward direction as a reaction to the force on water by fish in backward direction.
This force on fish makes it move in the forward direction.
