Question

what force holds objects in orbit around a star as accretion takes place? normal force electrical force gravitational force magnetic force

Explanation:

Gravitational force is the fundamental force that attracts two bodies with mass towards each other. In the context of objects orbiting a star during accretion, it is the gravitational pull of the star that keeps the objects in orbit. Normal force acts perpendicular to surfaces in contact, electrical force involves charged - particles, and magnetic force is related to magnetic fields, none of which are responsible for orbital motion around a star.

Answer:

C. gravitational force
