The gravitational force between two bodies is

1. repulsive at large distances
2. attractive at all places
3. attractive at short distances
4. repulsive at short distances

Correct answer: attractive at all places

Solution

Gravitational force is always attractive between masses; it never becomes repulsive. Its magnitude changes with distance, but the direction remains toward each other at all separations.
