Answer:

The force that the book exerts on the table is not a gravitational force, it's a normal force. and the table reacts with an equal and opposite force. That's also a normal force. So the book exerts a (normal) force on the table, and the table exerts a (normal) force on the book.

Hi! Newton’s third law of motion can be inferred from this situation.

Gravitational force pulls down the mass of the book downwards.

Reacting to it, normal force from the table opposes the downward force and is equal to the force exerted by the book in the opposite direction.

This makes the forces balanced, resulting in a net force of zero.
