(B) forces at distance: These forces are those types of forces that result even when the two interacting objects are not in physical contact with each other, yet are able to exert a push or pull despite their physical separation.
(C) consequential forces: The consequential force can be defined as a force which is called into play, when a force is applied on an object.
