o the trailer pulls on the car with less force in the same direction.
o the trailer pulls on the car with equal force in the same direction.
o the trailer pulls on the car with less force in the opposite direction.
o the trailer pulls on the car with equal force in the opposite direction.

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this case, the car pulling the trailer (action) has a corresponding reaction: the trailer pulling back on the car. The forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Answer:

The trailer pulls on the car with equal force in the opposite direction.
