A It becomes double
B It becomes half
C It becomes one-fourth
D It remains the same

Show answer and explanation

Answer: C. It becomes one-fourth

Answer: C) It becomes one-fourth
Explanation: By Newton's universal law of gravitation, F is inversely proportional to r^2. If the distance is doubled (2r), the force becomes 1/(2r)^2 = 1/(4r^2), which is one-fourth of the original force.
