Answer»

Right choice is (a) body or surface FORCES

To explain I would say: TYPICALLY, all aircraft forces are categorized as body forces or surface forces. Body forces are those forces which are acting through volume of the body. Typical example of body force is force due to GRAVITY. Surface force is acting through surface of an object such as shear force.
