    E. has the same magnitude as the force of Y on X

    Explanation:

    We can answer this question by using Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

    "When an object A exerts a force on an object B (action force), object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A (reaction force) "

    In this problem, we can identify:

    - Particle X as object A

    - Particle Y as object B

    Therefore:

    - The force exerted by particle X on particle Y is the action force

    - The force exerted by particle Y on particle X is the reaction force

    And so, according to Newton's third law, the two forces have same magnitude and opposite direction.
