Answer:

A bowling ball

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the gravitational force acting on an object is given by:


F=(Gm_1m_2)/(r^2)

Where

r is the distance between two masses

Also the force of gravity is equal to the weight of an object. It is given by:

W = mg

g is the acceleration due to gravity that varies with location.

It is clear that the gravitational force depends on the mass of an object. Out of given options a bowling ball has maximum mass. So, it will possess maximum gravitational force. Hence, the correct option is (c).
