The correct response is:
All objects exert a gravitational force on all other objects.
Explanation:
According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, every object with mass exerts a gravitational force on every other object with mass. The strength of this force depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them. Therefore, it is not limited to objects that are close to each other or only large mass objects. The gravitational force is a fundamental force of nature that acts between all objects in the universe.
