Answer:

A: equal in magnitude in the opposite direction

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton’s third law of motion states that “When one body exerts a force on the other body, the first body experiences a force which is equal in magnitude in the opposite direction of the force which is exerted”.

d, when an object hits another it bounces in a different direction and if a thing is just sitting still and a moving object hits it...the moving object has a different magnitude than the object that's not moving
