(d) On five bodies

The question was posed to me in unit test.

The origin of the question is Newton’s Third Law of Motion in division Laws of Motion of Physics – Class 11

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) On different objects

The best I can explain: The two forces involved in Newton’s third law are the cause force and the reaction force. The cause force acts on the contact surface or the contact body by the parent body. Whereas the reaction force acts on the parent body by the contact body.
