Detailed Solution

We have F=Gm1m2r2 
Substituting the values:

            For option (a) F=29GM2r2

            For option (b) F=14GM2r2

            For option (c) F=316GM2r2

            For option (d) F=425GM2r2

We can see that the maximum gravitational force is betweenM2,M2 .
Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
