The reaction force to weight is **C. Normal Force**.

In physics, according to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object has weight (due to gravity acting on it), the surface it rests on exerts an upward normal force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the weight of the object.
