Question

1 of 10sometimes, two stars orbit around their center of mass. these systems are called binary stars. the image below shows the path of a binary star.which of the following causes the stars movements?a the magnetic attraction between the two celestial bodiesb the gravitational attraction between the two celestial bodiesc the electromagnetic attraction between the two celestial bodiesd the action-reaction relationship shared between the two celestial bodies

Explanation:

Binary star systems rely on the mutual gravitational pull between the two stars to maintain their orbits around a common center of mass. Magnetic attraction is negligible for stellar bodies, electromagnetic attraction does not act on this cosmic scale, and action-reaction is a force pair description, not the causal force here.

Answer:

B. The gravitational attraction between the two celestial bodies
