The true statement according to Newton's Third Law of Motion is:

When an object in motion collides with another object, the second object pushes back.

This is because Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, meaning that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude and in the opposite direction on the first object.
