B)The strong nuclear force between quarks is described in terms of the concept of color.

The statement that the gravitational force is a manifestation of the quark interaction is false as the gravitational force is not described by the standard model. The other statements are true. The standard model explains the weak and strong nuclear forces, the electroweak interaction unifies the weak nuclear force and the electromagnetic force, and nucleons are indeed composed of quarks. The strong nuclear force is also described in terms of the concept of color.
