Answer 2

Answer:

(A) The gases emitted by the flame at high pressure constantly react with the rocket and propel it upwards.

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law : Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

NOTE : In a rocket, the burning fuel creates a push on the front of the rocket pushing it forward. It creates an equal and opposite push on the exhaust gas backwards.
