Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Global Positioning Systems (GPS) is a system which uses a network of satellites to construct maps. So, that it would be easy to trace location of a person, or to reach over a certain place. 
It helps an individual by showing the route of destination wherever he/she wants to reach along with the total time to reach over the place. 
Thus, GPS can determine the elevation of a given area and also it can determine latitude and longitude of a given area. As each GPS satellite broadcasts with a high power, narrow bandwidth, down link signal which can be received by our small hand held receiver antenna called mobile phone.
A GPS cannot determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, GPS can determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS).

Answer:
b) The downward force of gravity
Explanation:
The gravity force has the biggest influence on the deceleration of the ball because no matter how much force you applied on the ball, it will eventually go down again, according to newton's second law:
 
right after you throw the ball, only the force exerted by the gravity will affect the ball (neglecting air resistance):
 
so the object will eventually be going down again.
