The correct response is:

The ball and the ground exert forces on each other with equal magnitude but in opposite directions.

This statement is in accordance with Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the ball hits the ground, it exerts a force on the ground, and the ground exerts an equal force back on the ball in the opposite direction.
