Answer:

Person's body pulling on the earth

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of an object is the attraction of a person's body toward the Earth. The weight of an object is given by :

Weight (W) = mass (m) × acceleration due to gravity (g)

We know that, for an action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

So, there must be a reaction force for the weight of an object. The reaction force must be the person's body pulling on the earth.
