Electrical forces have a short range. Electrical forces act at right angles to motion The moon and the earth are essentially neutral.

Explanation / Answer

Here ,

as earth and moon are very massive and the charge on earth and moon is not very large

because of this the gravitational force is much stronger than the electrical force.

hence , the correct option is

Gravitational forces are much stronger than electrical forces
