The correct response is:
A ball and the ground exert forces of the same magnitude, but in opposing directions.
This is a reflection of Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the ball hits the ground, it exerts a force downward on the ground, and in response, the ground exerts an equal force upward on the ball.
