Solution
The correct option is A Newton's law of gravitation
Newton's law of gravitation is called universal law of gravitation because it is applicable to all the bodies having mass whether the bodies are big or small or whether the bodies are terrestrial or celestial.
Newton's law of gravitation states that every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the particle and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
