Solution

The correct option is D Reaction
Arm-wrestling is a sport in which two arms each of different persons wrestle with each other.
  • The elbows of the arms are rested on a flat surface. So, there is a reaction force coming from the surface in upward direction.
  • The arms wrestling with each other have friction between them and so do the surface and the elbows placed on it.
  • Since arms are involved, there has to be muscular force coming into the play from the muscles of the two competitors in the sport.
