Newton's Third Law:
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Action-reaction force pairs help explain why objects start up and slow down. In the case of a baseball, there is the interaction between the catcher's mitt and the ball. Like any interaction, it is a mutual interaction between two objects that results in equal forces on both objects directed in opposite directions.
To answer this question correctly, look for the pair of action-reaction interactions between catcher's mitt and ball. The action and reaction statements should involve these same two objects. And the interactions should be directed in opposite directions.
