Solution
The correct option is D
Both (b) and (c)
Newton's third law states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The third law is also known as the law of action and reaction.
The force exerted on an object is the action, and the force experienced by the object as a consequence of Newton's third law is the reaction.
Thus, action and reaction act on different bodies and in opposite direction.
