Correct Answer: the result will be zero


Solution : The correct option is the result will be zero.

According to Newton's third law of motion, if action and reaction are acting on the same body, they will cancel each other out, and the net force on the body will be zero. This indicates that the body won't accelerate and will instead stay at rest or, if it's currently moving, keep moving at a constant speed.
