Solution

The correct option is C

Newton's third law of motion


When the man pushes the frozen surface backward, the surface will give an equal reaction in the forward direction and thus would help him to reach the shore. This action and reaction are explained in Newton's third law of motion which states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction.
