Which force has an infinite range and is always attractive?

Answer
A
the gravitational force
B
the weak nuclear force
C
the electromagnetic force
D
the strong nuclear force

Explanation

Gravity has an infinite range: its influence extends over any distance, although it becomes weaker farther away. It is always attractive because mass attracts mass. The electromagnetic force also has an infinite range, but it can be attractive or repulsive, so the correct choice is the gravitational force.
