Solution

The correct option is C gravity
$∙$ Gravity is the force of attraction that every object exerts on other objects.
$∙$ Because of the Earth's gravity, the objects are pulled towards the center of the Earth and therefore remain stable.
$∙$ In space, the force of gravity is negligible. Thus, objects float in space.
