A goalkeeper in a game of football pulls his hands backwards after holding the ball shot at the goal. This enables the goal keeper to
$(a)$. exert larger force on the ball
$(b)$. reduce the force exerted by the ball on hands
$(c)$. increase the rate of change of momentum
$(d)$. decrease the rate of change of momentum

A goalkeeper pulls his hands backward after catching the cricket ball. This enables the fielder to reduce the force exerted by the ball.

So, option $(b)$ is correct.
