Which of the following best identifies and describes the force shown in the image?

• The apple is being pulled toward the ground by gravity due to the strong gravitational force of Earth.

• The apple fell from the tree and toward the ground due to friction of the wind pushing past the apple.

• The apple is being pulled toward Earth due to the strong magnetic pull of Earth.

• The apple is being pushed toward Earth due to applied forces once it breaks free from the branch.
