gravitational attraction force of earth is given by the formula

F = mg

here we know that

m = mass of object

g = acceleration due to gravity

So from above equation we know that gravitational force will be more if the mass of the object is large

so out of all above the gravitational force will be maximum on the object which will have maximum mass

so the correct answer will be

d- your pet elephant
