Answer
Correct option: B.
Gravity
b
(b) various atom of gases present in the earth atmosphere has masses and a gravitational force acts between theses atoms and earth.
(b) various atom of gases present in the earth atmosphere has masses and a gravitational force acts between theses atoms and earth.
also this is the force which holds the various gases near the surface and atmosphere is present.
so best possible answer is option $B.$
