Required Answer:-
It is due to the gravitational force of the earth that is acting on the object and the direction of this force is towards the centre i.e. downwards.
Gravitational force is a non-contact force because even though the two objects are not in contact, the gravitational force can act between them. Hence, The correct option is Option B) Non-contact

As a force is acting here, That means there should a field also. Yes, The field is there!!! Every mass in the universe creates a gravitational field around it. Any object coming in this field will experience a gravitational attractive force acting towards its centre
In this case also,
- Ball and earth have their own gravitational field. But the mass of the ball is >>> mass of earth. Hence, The ball is attracted towards the earth and movement of earth is negligible.
