According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this case, Howard exerts a force of 50 N against the wall. Therefore, the wall applies an equal force of 50 N in the opposite direction.
So, the correct response is: The wall applies a force of 50 N in the opposite direction.
