Solution

The correct option is D Gravitational force
Objects tend to move downwards to the earth because of gravity of the earth. This force, exerted on the object is known as force of gravity.
The force of gravity acts on all objects. The force of gravity acts on all of us all the time without our being aware of it. Water begins to flow towards the ground as soon as we open a tap because of gravitational attraction by earth. Water in rivers flows downward due to the force of gravity.
