Solution

The correct option is C Both a and b
A gravitational force is an attractive force exerted by a massive body on the massive body like planets. So a body always tries to pull other body towards itself due to gravitation. In other words, we say that the gravitational force is a force of attraction exerted by earth on other objects i.e. $F = m g$
Hence option C is correct.
