Solution

The correct option is C 8F
States that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe using a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centres.Newton's law of universal gravitation
Hence if 4m experiences 8F due to mass m, them m will also experience 8F force due to mass 4m, but the direction will be opposite.
