Answer:

option d

Step-by-step explanation:

Two objects are attracted to each other by a gravitational force F. ... As the distance r from the center of the planet increases, what happens to the force of gravity on the rocket? The force decreases inversely proportional to 1/r(squared) A spacecraft is orbiting Earth with an orbital radius r.

the force of gravity is represented as

F = GM1M2/r²

now the mass of warth and rocket is considered to be constant and G is a universal constant so it can be said

F is inverse to r²

therefore as the value of r increases that is distance between earth and rocket increases the force decreases

(Follows inverse square law)
