Ans. b

Sol.

According to Newton’s third law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

The force of action and reaction will have same magnitude.
The force of action and reaction will have opposite directions.
The force of action and reaction acts on different bodies.

For example if body A applies force on body B of magnitude 5 N towards the right, then body B will apply force on body A of magnitude 5 N towards the left.

Hence, the correct option is option B
