The correct response for the action and reaction forces in this scenario is:

The book pushes down on the table and the table pushes up on the book.

This describes the action-reaction pair according to Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The book exerts a downward force on the table, and in response, the table exerts an equal upward force on the book.
