{'gravitational force': [0, 0, 0, 6], 'electromagnetic force': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'force': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'neutral objects': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 4: a long range.

The statement in the question is comparing the gravitational force with the electromagnetic force. Both of these forces have some similarities. One common feature is that they are both long-range forces.

Option 1, between massive and neutral objects, is not entirely correct. Gravitational force indeed acts between massive objects, but it is not necessarily restricted to neutral objects. It can act between objects with any charge or no charge at all.

Option 2, between charged objects, is specific to the electromagnetic force. Gravitational force does not depend on the charge of the objects, whereas electromagnetic force acts specifically between charged objects.

Option 3, a short range, is incorrect. Gravitational force is actually a long-range force, unlike some other forces like the nuclear forces, which have a short range.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4: a long range, as it accurately describes the common feature between the gravitational force and the electromagnetic force.
