Brief Explanations:

The gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon provides the centripetal force that keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth. Nuclear force acts within the nucleus of an atom, air - resistance is a force related to motion through air, and friction is a force between two surfaces in contact. None of these are responsible for the Moon's orbit.

Answer:

B. Gravity
