what does newtons third law describe?
a. the tendency of moving objects to stay in motion
b. the attractive force between two objects due to their masses
c. how the amount of mass influences the amount of force needed to move an object
d. equal and opposite forces

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This law describes equal and opposite forces between two interacting objects. Option A describes Newton's first - law (inertia), option B describes the gravitational force (from Newton's law of universal gravitation), and option C describes Newton's second law ($F = ma$).

Answer:

D. Equal and opposite forces
