According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction forces:
- A.Act on the same body and have opposite directions
- B.Act on different bodies in opposite directions and have equal magnitudesCorrect answer
- C.Act on different bodies in the same direction and have unequal magnitudes
- D.Cancel each other out completely because they are equal and opposite
