The primary forces that act upon a baseball and a bat during their collision with each other are:
d) The force of the ball on the bat and the force of the bat on the ball.
This option reflects Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the ball strikes the bat, it exerts a force on the bat, and in turn, the bat exerts an equal and opposite force on the ball.
