Answer:

3) Act on different objects

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Action-reaction force pairs make it possible for fishes to swim, birds to fly, cars to move, etc.

Basically, action-reaction force pairs are characterized by the following statements;

I. The forces are the same type such as magnetic force, contact force or gravitational force.

II. The forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

III. They act up on two different bodies.

Hence, the two forces that make up 3rd law of motion can act on different objects.

For example, while driving down the road, a bug strikes the windshield of a vehicle (Action) and makes a quite obvious mess in front of the face of the driver of the vehicle (Reaction) i.e the bug hit the vehicle and the vehicle hits the bug.
