1 answer

The true statement about fields in science is:

Fields represent areas where forces can be detected at a distance.

Fields, such as gravitational fields or electromagnetic fields, describe how forces interact with objects at various points in space, even if those objects are not in direct contact. The other statements are not true: fields can affect various types of objects (not just those with charge), they can be measured and observed, and they do not have mass themselves.
