The statement that best describes a newton is:

"It reflects the amount of force an object exerts."

A newton (N) is the SI unit of force, and it measures the effect of a force on an object's motion. Specifically, one newton is defined as the force needed to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared (1 N = 1 kg·m/s²).
