The correct answer is C: The hammer to nail, the hammer to wood.When the hammer drives the nail into the wood, the action-reaction pair consists of the force exerted by the hammer on the nail and the force exerted by the nail on the hammer. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Therefore, the force exerted by the hammer on the nail is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted by the nail on the hammer.Additionally, when the hammer hits the wood, the action-reaction pair consists of the force exerted by the hammer on the wood and the force exerted by the wood on the hammer. Again, according to Newton's third law, the force exerted by the hammer on the wood is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted by the wood on the hammer.
