Explanation:

1st and 2nd statements are incorrect.
The gravitational force is a force that attracts any objects with mass. You, right now, are pulling on every other object in the entire universe! This is called Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation.
Newton's law of gravity states that the gravitational force between two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
