    The electric force is much stronger than the gravitational force, so that gets rid of A and D. If you want to know, the electrical force is about 1000 times stronger at an atomic level. Electric fields can be shielded, but gravity can't. And of course, gravity only attracts while electric forces attract and repel. The answer is e.
