What is the best explanation for why the wall starts to crumble using one of Newton's laws?

According to Newton's 1st law, the person wants to stay in motion. The wall crumbles because the person stays in motion and no unbalanced force is acting on them.

According to Newton's 3rd law, forces come in pairs. The wall crumbles because it wasn't strong enough to apply an equal amount of force back on the man pushing it.

According to Newton's 2nd law, the force equals the mass times the acceleration. The wall crumbles because it has more mass than the person.

According to Newton's second law, the force equals the mass times acceleration. The wall crumbles because the person has more mass than the wall.
