The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Problem**: The question asks why the speed of a ball increases when it is dropped from a certain height. We need to identify the force responsible for this increase in speed. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A: Gravitational Force**: This is the force exerted by the Earth on the ball, pulling it downwards. - **Option B: Biological Force**: This force relates to natural environmental factors and does not apply to the motion of the ball. - **Option C: Magnetic Force**: This force acts between magnets and magnetic materials, which is not relevant to the ball falling. - **Option D: All of These**: This option cannot be correct since options B and C do not apply. 3. **Eliminating Incorrect Options**: - **Biological Force**: Since it does not affect the motion of the ball, we can eliminate this option. - **Magnetic Force**: As the ball is not a magnetic material and does not interact with magnets in this context, we eliminate this option as well. - **All of These**: Since both biological and magnetic forces are not relevant, this option is also eliminated. 4. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: The only remaining option is **Gravitational Force**. This force is responsible for the ball's acceleration towards the Earth, causing its speed to increase as it falls. 5. **Conclusion**: The speed of the ball increases due to the gravitational force acting on it as it falls towards the Earth. **Final Answer**: The speed of the ball goes on increasing due to **gravitational force**. ---
