The gravitational attraction between two objects increases if
A
their volumes increase.
B
their volumes decrease.
C
the distance between them increases.
D
the distance between them decreases.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases.

Detailed explanation-2: -Here we find if the distance between the two objects is increased by a factor of 5, then the gravitational force of attraction decreases by 25 times.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer. Answer: The force of gravitation between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them therefore the gravity will become four times if distance between them is reduced to half.
