Solution

The correct option is A
True

According to Newton's third law, when a body $A$ exerts a force on another body $B$ , $B$ also exerts an equal and opposite force on $A$ . Hence, while kicking a ball, the footballer's leg will experience an equal amount of force but in opposite direction to that of the force he exerted on the ball.
