Question
a bunny is resting next to a house. what is the correct relationship of forces acting between the bunny and the house?
Step1: Analyze forces in scenario
The bunny and the house are not in direct contact in a way that would cause a significant horizontal - force interaction. The main force acting on the bunny is gravity pulling it downwards and the normal force from the ground pushing it upwards. The house and bunny do not exert direct forces on each other in a significant way in the horizontal or vertical directions relevant to their interaction. But if we consider the gravitational force between them, it is extremely small and negligible compared to other forces acting on the bunny (like gravity from the Earth). However, if we assume no other external factors and just focus on the two - body interaction, the only non - zero force is the gravitational force between them which is a very small attractive force along the line connecting their centers of mass. This force is horizontal in the sense that it acts along the line between them.

The second option (the one with horizontal arrows pointing towards each other) as it represents the very small gravitational attraction between the bunny and the house.
