Answer:

It obeys Newton's third law of motion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The experiment obeys Newton's third law of motion because when the air in the balloon is released, the air moves in the downward direction which is an action of the balloon so in the reaction, the balloon moves in upward direction so both action and reaction forces are equal in magnitude but moves in opposite direction which obeys Newton's third law of motion.
