A. Gravitational
Gravitation is a phenomenon through which all objects attract each other.
We can stand on the earth is because gravity is pulling us in to the center of Earth.
Earth orbits around around the sun is because the gravitational pull of the sun acts upon it.
Did you understand all that?

Answer A.
Something goes into orbit because of the pull of gravity that some object has.
A sort of balance is achieved between the pull of the object's gravity and the force of inertia which wants to keep the flying object traveling within a straight line. And, the flying object sweeps around in a circle, around and around the massive object as long as this balance is in effect.
