Solution

The correct option is B The rubber band pulling on the mass
The rubber band is stretched by the weight of the mass suspended on it, but it is not moving. The action force that causes the rubber band to stretch comes from the earth. The weight of mass suspended is working downwards and the rubber band pulling on mass is working in an upward direction as a reaction force.
