Zoe Mata · Answer 1

C. The gravitational force between them is extremely small.

Explanation:

The force of gravity is based off of the mass and distance of two objects. Stephen and Andy don't have large enough masses to feel an effect.

Aaden Montgomery · Answer 2

C.) The gravitational force is balanced out by the force of friction.
