Answer:

(b). Mass and distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects is given by Newton's law of universal gravitation. The formula is as follows :


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

Here,

G is universal gravitational constant

r is the distance between two objects

It is very clear that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Hence, the two quantities are used to predict gravitational force according to Newton's law of universal gravitation are mass and distance.
