Answer (3)

Well, electric and magnetic are actually the same in nature (as basic force in the Universe). The four, in decreasing order of strength, are: Strong nuclear, Weak nuclear, Electric/Magnetic (in roughly the same range) and Gravitational (much weaker than Electric/Magnetic -- a magnet less than 1 kg beats Earth which is quite a lot of gigatons, roughly)

The weakest of the universal forces is the gravitational force (option B). While it holds significant influence at large scales, its strength compared to other forces (like electric, magnetic, and strong nuclear) is minimal. Thus, gravitational force is recognized as the weakest among the four fundamental forces.
