Solution

The correct option is B A person drops a ball and it falls to the ground
Gravity is the force that attracts two objects. Gravity is responsible for many of the structures in the universe. On Earth, it gives weight to physical objects and causes the tides. One of the best examples of gravity is when a person drops a ball and it falls to the ground.

We saw in Newton's laws of motion that if we apply an external unbalanced force on a ball,it will move and also will come to a stop because of gravitational pull and also frictional force. If we do the same thing in space,will the ball come to a stop?

Because,in space there is no frictional force and no gravitational pull,so will it come to stop?
