• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. Gravitational force is the force of attraction between any two objects by virtue of their masses.
2. Gravitational force between any two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
3. Since, the mass of the earth is huge, it attracts everything towards its centre.
4. Gravity is what keeps the planets revolving around the sun.
5. Gravitational force is responsible for holding water onto the surface of the earth in the form of oceans and seas.

Hence, the given statement is true.
