The correct answer is

nuclear weak force

In fact, the nuclear strong force has a very limited range of action (approximately below 1-2 femtometers), and its magnitude decays exponentially for larger distances. Only the nuclear weak force is weaker than the nuclear strong force at large distance, while the gravity and the electromagnetic force become dominant for distances > 2 femtometers.
