Final answer:

In this scenario, the gravitational force is the dominant force acting when Tonya picks up a leaf from the ground and holds it at arm's length.


Explanation:

The correct answer in this scenario is gravitational force. When Tonya picks up a leaf and holds it at arm's length, the force acting on the leaf pulling it towards the Earth is the gravitational force. This force is the attraction between two masses and is always directed towards the center of the Earth.
