Which best explains why objects fall downward when dropped?

A) the center of Earth exerts a gravitational pull
B) Earths orbit exerts a downward force on the atmosphere
C) most objects are heavier than the air in Earth's atmosphere
D) the force between Earth's magnetic poles pull objects downward

I chose D.

The correct answer is A) The center of Earth exerts a gravitational pull. The gravitational force of Earth pulls all objects towards its center. The force of gravity depends on the mass of the objects involved and the distance between them. The greater the mass and closer the distance, the stronger the gravitational force. This explains why objects fall toward the center of the earth when they are dropped on or near its surface.
