Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Binding electrons to atomic nuclei is due to electromagnetic force, not gravitational.
• Radioactive decay is due to weak nuclear force.
• Gravitational force attracts objects with mass (e.g., planets, everyday objects) and can bind them (like celestial bodies).
• Binding protons/neutrons in the nucleus is due to strong nuclear force.
• Bending charged particles' paths in a magnetic field is electromagnetic force.

So the correct option is the one about attracting objects with mass.

Answer:

The option: "attracting objects with mass to one another and even bind them together."
