Solution

The correct option is B gravitational force
Gravitational force is defined as the force of attraction exerted between any two bodies or objects having mass. For example, earth"s force of gravitation binds us to its surface. Any object thrown in the air reaches a certain height and return back to the surface of earth. This happens because of the gravitational force exerted by the earth on the object.
