The answer is C

Explanation:

The greater the mass of the objects, the greater the gravitational force between them; in other words, the bigger an object is, the more gravity it has. But, when analyzing the effects of gravity, distance also matters ... Even though the Sun is much more massive than Earth, the distance between you and Earth is smaller.
