According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Therefore, the fence will exert a reaction force on the chair that is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force exerted by the chair on the fence.
So, the reaction force exerted by the fence on the chair will also be 8N.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 8N.
