D. -200 N

Answer 1

option (A) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton’s Third Law: Action & Reaction Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first. His third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. If object A exerts a force on object B, object B also exerts an equal and opposite force on object A.
