According to newton’s third law of motion, action, and reaction :
Always act on the different bodies in opposite directions.
Explanation for the correct option
(B): When one body exerts a force on another, Newton's third law of motion asserts that the first body will experience a force of equal size in the opposite direction
Explanation for incorrect option(s)
(A): Action and reaction never act on the same body.
(C): Both action and reaction forces act on two separate bodies, with an equal magnitude but in opposing directions.
(D): According to Newton's third law, there is an equal and opposite response for every action in nature. When object A interacts with another object B, forces are exerted on each other. Consider how the boat slides backward as you leap from the boat to the ground.
Thus, according to newton’s third law of motion, action and reaction always act on the different bodies in opposite directions.
