0 N
According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Therefore, the fence will exert a reaction force of 8 N on the lawn chair. So the answer is 8 N.
To find the reaction force exerted by the fence on the chair, we can use Newton's third law, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The action in this case is the force exerted by the wind on the chair, which is 8 N. The reaction force exerted by the fence on the chair will also be 8 N.
Therefore, the correct answer is 8 N.
