Solution

The correct option is A All bodies in the universe
Newton's law of gravitation is applicable to all bodies in the universe. It states that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force (F) which is directly proportional to the product of their masses m1 and m2 and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centres (r).
F=Gm1m2r2 ; where G is the universal gravitational constant.
