Detailed explanation-1: -If the mass of both of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is quadrupled; and so on. Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, if the masses of both objects is doubled the force of attraction will become 4 times of its original value.
Detailed explanation-3: -So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases. If the mass of one of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is doubled.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hence, the Force would be halved is the correct answer.
