The correct statement is:
The force of gravity pulling down the book and the force of the table pushing up on the book are equal.
When an object is in a state of equilibrium, the forces acting on it are balanced. In this case, the force of gravity (which pulls the book downwards) is equal in magnitude to the normal force exerted by the table (which pushes the book upwards), resulting in no net force acting on the book.
