Answer:

A, B, D.

Explanation:

If Jamy pushes on Anita, then by Newton's 3rd Law there will be a reaction force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. This means that A and D are correct, while C, E, F and G are incorrect. Since the magnitude of any of these forces can be calculated with Newton's 2nd Law, F=ma for either Jamy or Anita, this means that B is correct.
