Newtons Third Law states that for every action in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, if object A exerts a force on object B, then object B also exerts an equal and opposite force on object A.

So I think the answer you're looking for is B: A huge rock rolls over a cliff when pushed over.
