The teacher swinging a tennis ball attached to a string around their head is demonstrating the concept of centripetal force and circular motion rather than any of the types of attraction or reactions listed in the options provided. However, if we interpret the question with regards to celestial bodies, the closest relevant option might be:
**C. The gravitational attraction between the two celestial bodies.**
This option can be considered correct in the context of demonstrating how gravity keeps celestial bodies (like planets or moons) in orbit around each other, similar to how the tension in the string provides a centripetal force that allows the ball to move in a circular path around the teacher's head. Although the analogy is not perfect, it's the best fit among the given choices.
