Question
which force is responsible for the attraction and repulsion of charges?
o nuclear force
o gravitational force
o magnetic force
o electrostatic force
Charges experience attraction (opposite charges) and repulsion (like charges) due to the electric force. Gravitational force is for mass - mass interaction, nuclear force acts within atomic nuclei, and magnetic force is related to moving charges/magnetic fields, not the basic attraction/repulsion of static charges. So the electric force is responsible.

The option related to electric force (assuming one of the options is about electric force, as the attraction and repulsion of charges is due to electric force; from the visible text like "Electric force" in the options, the correct one would be the option with "Electric force" label, e.g., if the last option is "Electric force", then that's the answer. Based on the context, the force responsible for attraction and repulsion of charges is the electric force, so the correct option is the one labeled with electric force (e.g., the last circular option with "Electric force" text).
