An octopus moves through water by ejecting water through a funnel in its body. How does this illustrate Newton's Third Law?(1 point) Responses When the octopus ejects the water out, the water applies an equal force on the surrounding water in the opposite direction. When the octopus ejects the water out, the water applies an equal force on the surrounding water in the opposite direction. When the octopus eject the water out, the water applies an equal force on the surrounding water in the same direction. When the octopus eject the water out, the water applies an equal force on the surrounding water in the same direction. What the octopus ejects the water out, the water applies an equal force on the octopus in the same direction. What the octopus ejects the water out, the water applies an equal force on the octopus in the same direction. When the octopus ejects the water out, the water applies an equal force on the octopus in the opposite direction.

The correct statement is: "When the octopus ejects the water out, the water applies an equal force on the surrounding water in the opposite direction."
This illustrates Newton's Third Law, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this case, when the octopus ejects water through its funnel, it exerts a force on the water in the opposite direction. Simultaneously, the water applies an equal and opposite force on the surrounding water, propelling the octopus forward. This action-reaction pair of forces allows the octopus to move through the water.
