A The product of their masses

C The medium between the two objects
D The acceleration of the objects

Show answer and explanation

Answer: A. The product of their masses

Correct Answer: (a) The product of their masses
Explanation: By the Universal Law of Gravitation, F = G × M × m / d². The force is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. It does not depend on the medium between the objects.
