  1. The weakest of all fundamental forces is
    1. Gravitational force
    2. Electrostatic force
    3. Magnetic force
    4. Nuclear force
Correct Option: A

In particle physics, fundamental interactions (sometimes called interactive forces or fundamental forces) are the ways that elementary particles interact with one another. An interaction is fundamental when it cannot be described in terms of other interactions. The four known fundamental interactions are electromagnetism, strong interaction (“strong nuclear force”), weak interaction (“weak nuclear force”), and gravitation. All are non-contact forces. Gravitation is by far the weakest of the four interactions. The weakness of gravity can easily be demonstrated by suspending a pin using a simple magnet (such as a refrigerator magnet). The magnet is able to hold the pin against the gravitational pull of the entire Earth.
