Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. It is the force causing tides due to the stars and earth.
The incorrect statement regarding the universal law of gravitation is: "It is the force causing tides due to the stars and earth."
Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun on Earth's oceans. The gravitational force between stars and Earth has negligible impact on tidal phenomena. The universal law of gravitation explains the force that binds us to Earth, assists the moon's motion around Earth, and keeps planets in orbit around the Sun.
