Solution
The correct option is D 200 N upwards
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the given scenario, as the weight of the monkey is acting downwards, the tail exerts equal and opposite force on the monkey to balance it. Therefore, the tail exerts a force of 200 N in upward direction.
