The correct response is: **It is a force.**
Gravity is a force that attracts objects with mass toward one another, causing them to accelerate toward each other under its influence. According to Newton's second law of motion, when a force is applied to an object, it causes acceleration. In the case of gravity, this force causes objects to accelerate downward towards the center of a mass, like the Earth.
