Solution

The correct options are
A are equal in magnitude
B are oppsite in direction
D act on different bodies
Newton's third law states that:
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction".
These opposing forces act on different bodies. For example; when a gun is fired, it pushes the bullet out with a force. The bullet also exerts a equal and opposite force on the gun, causing a recoil in the other direction.
