Answer:

1. Mass

2. Height

3. Gravitational Force Field

Step-by-step explanation:

The three factors that decide how much gravitational potential energy a body has are: 1) The mass of the body itself, 2) The relative height at which the body is, because gravitational force varies with height i.e distance away from earth surface. 3) and finally the strength of the gravitational field the body is in.
