(a) In bringing you to a halt, the sand exerts a greater impulse on you than does the water.

(b) In bringing you to a halt, the sand and the water exert the same impulse on you, but the sand exerts a greater average force.

(c) In bringing you to a halt, the sand and the water exert the same impulse on you, but the sand exerts a smaller average force.
