Correct Answer: It is the force causing tides due to the stars and the earth
Solution : The correct option is It is the force causing tides due to the stars and the Earth.
The universal law of gravitation primarily describes the gravitational attraction between two masses, such as the Earth and an object on or near its surface. Tides are caused by the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun on Earth's oceans, not stars. While stars do exert gravitational forces, their effects on Earth's tides are negligible compared to the Moon and the Sun.
