A. The buoyant force only acts on objects in water. - The buoyant force can act in ANY liquid, not just water

B. The buoyant force is always stronger than the force of gravity. - This is false. The buoyant force is dependent on the size of the object and not gravity

C. The buoyant force causes objects to sink more quickly than 9.8 m/s2. - This is false, since the buoyant force ALWAYS acts opposite of gravity.

D. The buoyant force always pushes objects up towards the surface of the fluid. - This is true

If the action force is the swimmer pushing water in the leftward direction, what is the reaction force?

Sphinxa [80]

According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction; action and reaction act on different bodies.
Here, the action force is in the leftward direction, so the reaction will be in the opposite direction.
If the action force is the swimmer pushing water in the leftward direction, then the reaction force is in the rightward direction.
And the reaction force will be given by the water on the swimmer.

Answer:

The reaction force is the water pushing the swimmer in the rightward direction.

Hope you could get an idea from here.
