which of the following forces is displayed on a scale when you weigh yourself?
\telectrical force acting on your body
\tgravitational force acting on your body
\tfrictional force acting on your body
\tmagnetic force acting on your body
When you weigh yourself on a scale, the scale measures the force exerted on it, which is related to the gravitational force acting on your body (your weight, $F = mg$ where $m$ is mass and $g$ is acceleration due to gravity). Electrical, frictional, and magnetic forces are not what a typical weighing scale measures in this context.
