Sagot :

Answer:

It's B, because of process of elimination:

A: The rower would be applying force to the oar not the other way around. So that's immediately out.

C: If the force of the oar applies to the water, the force of the water cannot apply to the oar.

D: Same as why A is incorrect.

So B is the only one left.

The correct answer is B. “Every action has an equal or opposite reaction”.
