Detailed Solution

We know that according to the law of gravitation, the gravitational force between any two bodies that have some mass is given as:

F =G.m1m2r 2
Where m1 and m2 are the masses of the two bodies, r is the distance between them and G is the universal gravitation constant.
G= 6.67 X 10-11 Nm2/kg2

The value of G is constant for any two bodies involved and is independent of the medium in which the bodies lie.

Here, we can see that we have written the value of G in the SI unit system. If we change the units to the MKS system, then due to conversion factors the value of G will also change.

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
