Newton's third law of motion states For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.. Which model BEST represents this law of motion?

A. Is a person in a boat rowing a pattle in the water
B. 2 people pulling rope the left person is 300 N and the right person is 175 N
C. A hot air balloon on the top is F and y and at the bottom past the square is F and x
D. Is a baseball that has an arrow going to the left on it on the top is an F

The model that BEST represents Newton's third law of motion is:

A. A person in a boat rowing a paddle in the water.

This example illustrates Newton's third law because when the person pushes the water backward with the paddle (action), the water pushes the boat forward with an equal and opposite force (reaction). This is a clear demonstration of the action-reaction pair described by the law.

The other options do not clearly represent the concept of action and reaction in the same way.
