Explain your choice in the space provided.

Answer 1

option (c)

Step-by-step explanation:

the force is same on both the van and the bird.

According to the Newton's third law, there ia an equal and opposite forces acting on both the objects.

So, they both experience same force but the direction is opposite to each other.

Bird splatters all over because the bird cannot handle large force but van can handle so that the bird splatter all over the wind shield.
