The correct answer option is 1000 N.

Explanation:

A force is a push or a pull which acts upon any object as a result of its interaction with another object where the forces are called action and reaction.

According to Newton's third law: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The given situation is an example of the third law of Newton. So if a bat hits a ball with a 1000-N force, the force exerted on the bat will be equal to 1000 N but in opposite direction.
