Answer»

The correct answer is (b) Skiing

The best explanation: The THIRD law of motion does not apply to skiing as in skiing we do not apply any force on the ground. The motion is caused by GRAVITY and EXTREMELY less friction. In all the other cases, a force is APPLIED on the ground or the other body, the reaction of which CAUSES the motion.
