A. Directly related to the number of people in the area and inversely related to the distance people must travel to access it

Explanation:

When people seek certain type o products/services, the price and quality of the product are not the only factors for consideration. How easy they could obtain those products/services are also a major factor in the decision making.

The gravity model suggested that eventually costumers will drawn to specific location to seek their products/service that they deemed as an optimal location.
