Final answer:

The statement is false; 'period' refers to the time for a cycle, while gravitational force is the attraction between objects.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement 'Period is the force of attraction between objects resulting in objects pulling towards each other' is false. The correct term for the force of attraction between objects is gravitational force. The term period refers to the time it takes for one cycle of a repeating event to occur, such as one orbit of the Earth around the Sun or one vibration of a pendulum.
