______ is a force of attraction that occurs between objects due to their mass. A. Weight B. Magnetism C. Deposition D. Gravity
nataly862011 [7]
The answer is D. Gravity.

Gravity attracts objects to the surface of the Earth. Take a falling brick, for example, the brick has more mass, therefore, there is more attraction between the brick and Gravity. The brick is a solid object and is heavier as well.

Hope this helps! :)
