Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. An action is a force exerted by one object on another. Option A describes mutual pushing (action - reaction pair together), B and C involve movement (not the force definition of action), while D is a force from one object pushing another, which is an action.

Answer:

D. the force with which one object pushes the other
