The gravitational force between two objects becomes weaker if the two objects are moved apart and stronger if they are brought closer together. So I believe "A." is correct.

A is the correct answer. If you'd like an equation that is relevant... 
(M1M2G)/(d^2) 
M1= mass of object 1 
M2 = mass of object 2 
G = gravitational constant (6.67*10^-11) 
d = distance apart
