The diagram shows the related strengths of the gravitational force for planets of different masses. The size of each planet represents the planet's relative mass. The arrow length indicates the relative amount of gravitational pull that each planet would exert on an astronaut in space.


Based on the diagram and your knowledge of the Universal Law of Gravitation, select the answer that best describes the relationship between mads and gravitational force.

A. Mass and gravity have a direct relationship- the more mass the planet has, the stronger the gravitational pull.

B. Mass and gravity have an indirect relationship- the smaller thr planet is, the weaker the gravitational pull.

C. Mass and gravity gave a direct relationship- the mkre mass the planet has, the weaker the gravitational pull.

D. Mass and gravity have an indirect relationship- the smaller the planet is, the stronger the gravitational pull.
