Answer:

10 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A man pushes against a tree with a force of 10 newtons.

We need to find the amount of force exerted by the tree on the man.

The force exerted by the tree on the man will be equal to the force that the man exert on the tree as per Newton's third law of motion.

It means the tree exert 10 N force on the man. Hence, the correct option is (c) i.e. 10 N.
