An apple of mass 100 g. falls from a tree because of gravitational attraction between the earth and the apple. If the magnitude of force exerted by the earth on the apple be F1 and the magnitude of force exerted by the apple on the earth be F2 then:

A. F1 is very much greater than F2


B. F2 is very much greater then F1


C. F1 is only a little greater than F2


D. F1 and F2 are exactly equal

Since, the gravitational force exerted by both the object towards each other remains equal.
