The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "action force." Using a hammer to drive a nail, it is the reaction force that brings the motion of the hammer to a stop but the action force that drives the nail into the wood.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction force is what presents you drive because it acts on you. Newton's Third Law of Motion describes that forces perpetually come in action-reaction pairs. The Third Law states that for every action force, there is an identical and opposite reaction force. The ball exerts an equal and opposite force on the bat.
