One consequence of Newton's third law of motion is that __________.

Newton’s third law says that forces occur in pairs: when one object exerts a force on another, the second exerts an equal force in the opposite direction on the first. Therefore, the best answer is “all actions have equal and opposite reactions.” Inertia is related to an object’s mass, and acceleration is described by Newton’s second law, not the third.
