Solution

The correct options are
C Gravitational force of the Earth
D Frictional force of air
The gravitational force acts on all objects on or near the Earth's surface.
The air also exerts frictional force on the airplane opposite it's direction of motion. In fact, air drag and pressure difference is the principle behind the flying of an aeroplane.
There is not a significant magnetic force acting on the airplane because effect of earth's magnetic field is weak in comparison.
There is not a significant electrostatic force acting on the airplane because it is effectively electrically nuetral in nature.
