Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion By Newton's third law of motion, "To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction."
Forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself. We sometimes refer to this law loosely as action-reaction, where the force exerted is the action and the force experienced as a consequence is the reaction.
