Newton’s Third Law of Motion

The horse pulls the cart and the cart pulls the horse in response as per Newton third law. So the big question is, “Don’t the two forces cancel each other? How does the cart accelerate?”

Question

A falling object is pulled down by the earth. The earth is pulled up toward the object. Why doesn't the earth move?
(A The Earth has a very small mass and a large acceleration.
(B Air resistance gets in the way.
C) Answer
D The Earth has a very large mass and a small acceleration.
E Only the earth has gravity.
