Answer:

D. Action, Reaction

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Point to be noted:

The action and reaction pair act on different bodies and not on the same body.

Example:

When you jump up from the ground, your legs apply an action force on the ground and the ground applies equal and opposite reaction force on you and hence you propel up from the ground.
