The correct answer is option (B) The sun has a greater gravitational effect than the earth

Explanation:

Gravitational force is the force found between two bodies which pulls them together. Example, the earth and the moon.

Gravitational effect is most expressed between the moon, sun and the earth

The earth is said to have greater gravitational effect than the moon, that is why the moon has not fallen.

The sun has greater gravitational effect than the earth

The moon's force of gravity is less because of it's low mass size
