The sun is bigger, but has a less mass than the Earth.
The sun has a larger mass so it has less gravitational pull.
We are closer to the sun than the Earth.

It's the fourth choice.
This is because, since we are closer to the Earth, the Earth will have a stronger gravitational pull on us since again, we are closer.
That also explains tides, but that's just getting off topic. Hope I helped.
