Answer:

15 Newton

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, "Every action has a reaction which is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction" (Right now, we're not talking about direction, so we'll ignore it)

So,

Action Force = Reaction Force

Reaction Force = 15 N

The action force is by the Earth on the Apple, So the reaction force will be by the Apple on the Earth.
