Answer (1)

An increase in the gravitational force between two objects will always result from increasing their masses and decreasing the distance between them. This is based on Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, which dictates that gravitational force is proportional to mass and inversely proportional to distance. The correct choice reflects this principle by focusing on mass increase and distance decrease. ;
