Which of the four fundamental forces is involved?
Thanks in advance

No.It is not home work.
Maybe a bit ridiculous,but I can only think of electromagnetic force
 
Masses are too small for gravitational force, unless you're throwing neutrons around, you can't get near the nucleus, which cancels the strong and weak interactions, and leaves you with what you've concluded. Correct.
