This question belongs to physics subject.

The gravitational attraction is ruled by the Universal Law of Gravity (Newton's Law).

This law states the the atracction force between two objects is proportional to the product of the masse of the two objects.

The if one of the masses is doubled the product of the masses will also double, and the resultant force will be the double.

Then, the answer 2*22N = 44N is the right option (option C)
