A man pushes against a rigid, immovable wall.  Which of the following is the most accurate statement concerning this situation? 
A)
 
The man can never exert a force on the wall which exceeds his weight. 
B)
 
If the man pushes on the wall with a force of 200 N, we can be sure that the wall is pushing back with a force of exactly 200 N on him. 
C)
 
Since the wall cannot move, it cannot exert any force on the man. 
D)
 
The man cannot be in equilibrium since he is exerting a net force on the wall. 
E)
 
The friction force on the man's feet is directed to the left.
