    Answer: C)

    Explanation: This fact is related with the expression of the Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation given by:

    F = G m1*m2/d^2

    where G si the gravitational universal constant

    d is the distance between masses

    if we triple the distance, we have a resultant force dividing by 9 this means one-ninth of the original force.
