Solution

The correct options are
A electrostatic force
B centrifugal force

Electrostatic force of attraction- Negatively charged electrons revolve around the nucleus at a very high speed and are attracted by the electrostatic force from the nucleus.

Centrifugal force- The attraction is counterbalanced by an outward centrifugal force keeping the electron in its orbit.
