The correct response represents an equal but opposite force acting on the balloon is the air entering the balloon.

When you inflate a balloon by blowing air into it, the air molecules exert a force against the inside walls of the balloon, causing it to expand. This expansion creates an equal and opposite force against the air being pushed in, in accordance with Newton's third law of motion.
