A. The ball pushes back on Stuart's foot with an equal force.
Explanation: Newton's third law states that forces come in equal and opposite pairs. When Stuart's foot exerts a force on the ball, the ball exerts an equal-magnitude force in the opposite direction on his foot (though the resulting accelerations differ because the foot and ball have different masses).
