Answer:

The forces of gravity

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this case, the jetpack is ejecting water at high velocity toward the ground. This is generating a significant force downward. The resulting opposite force pushes upward, elevating the rider.
