Answer:

Masses of the objects and the distance between them

Step-by-step explanation:

The universal law of gravitation states that the force of attraction between two objects depend on the masses of the objects and distance between them. The force of attraction is given by :


F=G(m_1m_2)/(d^2)

Where

G is the universal gravitational constant,
G=6.67* 10^(-11)\ Nm^2/kg^2

m₁ and m₂ are mass of of two objects

d is the distance between them

So, the correct option is (d) "masses of the objects and the distance between them".
