Solution

The correct option is A

True


According to Newton's third law, to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The action and reaction forces always act on two different bodies. For example, a box is resting on the ground. Now the force exerted by the weight of the box is action and it acts on the ground whereas force exerted by the ground on the box is reaction and it acts on the box.
