Answer:

A

Explanation:

The formula used for this type of question is


F = (Gm_1m_2)/(r^2)

so as long as you don't change anything else (like r), changing m will increase the force. Both of the last 2 answers look like they might be feasible, but they are not. The attraction increases.

So the answer is A
