Newton's Third Law is every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

B. 200 N Backwards is the correct answer

The ball should put 200 N of force towards the golfer.

The ball is exerting 200 N of force towards the club as well, but the opposite reaction is that it flies away.

For more details: For each reaction there must be a opposite reaction(Which is the ball going 200 N backwards) and an equal reaction(The ball putting 200 N of force towards the golfer and the golfer)
