The correct response is:
The book’s weight and the upward force the table exerts on the book have equal magnitude but opposing directions.
This statement explains why the book is in a state of equilibrium: the gravitational force pulling the book down is balanced by the normal force exerted by the table pushing the book up, resulting in no net force acting on the book.
