Which statement correctly describes the action–reaction forces in an interaction between two bodies?
(a) They act on the same body and cancel each other, so the body remains at rest.
(b) They occur one after another; the reaction force appears only after the action force stops.
(c) They act on different bodies and are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
(d) They act on different bodies, but the lighter body experiences a larger force.
