Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
According to Newton’s law of gravitation, every body in this universe attracts every other body with a force which is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. When we move our finger, the distance of the objects with respect to finger changes, hence the force of attraction changes, disturbing the entire universe, including stars.
