The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question:** - The question asks why leaves or fruits fall to the ground. We need to identify the force responsible for this action. 2. **Identifying Possible Forces:** - The options given are: - Magnetic force - Gravitational force - Electrostatic force - Muscular force 3. **Analyzing Each Force:** - **Magnetic Force:** This force acts between magnets and magnetic materials. It does not play a role in the falling of leaves or fruits. - **Electrostatic Force:** This force occurs between charged objects. It is not relevant to the falling of leaves or fruits. - **Muscular Force:** This force is exerted by muscles. It does not cause leaves or fruits to fall. - **Gravitational Force:** This is the force that attracts objects towards the center of the Earth. It is responsible for pulling objects downwards. 4. **Conclusion:** - Since leaves and fruits are objects on Earth, they fall to the ground due to the gravitational force exerted by the Earth. This force pulls all objects towards its center, causing them to fall when they are no longer supported. 5. **Final Answer:** - Leaves and fruits fall on the ground due to **gravitational force**. ---
