Solution

The correct option is C
Electrostatic force

The electrostatic force is the force that exists between charges which causes either attraction or repulsion. This is a non-contact force because two charges need not be in contact to experience the electrostatic force.

Gravitational force is the force between any two particles in the universe. The particles need not be in contact, so the gravitational force is a non-contact force.
