The correct answer is option C, that is, the universal law of gravitation.

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, every particle fascinates every other particle in the universe with a force that is directly equivalent to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. This is a usual physical law obtained from empirical observations by what Isaac Newton knew as inductive reasoning.
