Solution

The correct options are
B
Non-contact Force

C
Universal Force

Every object in the universe attracts every other object in the universe gravitationally. Therefore gravity is a universal force.

For an object to experience gravitational force it doesn't need to be in contact, hence gravitational force is a non-contact force.
