Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU ;)

Decreasing the distance between the moon and the planet is the scenario that would increase the gravity of the planet.

What is Newton's law of gravity?

Newton's law of gravity states that each particle having mass in the universe attracts each other particle with a force known as the gravitational force.

The expression for the gravitational force is given as;

[tex]\rm F= G\frac{m_1m_2}{R^2}[/tex]

Gravitational force is proportional to the product of the masses of the two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of their distance.

Decreasing the distance would increase the gravity of the planet.

Hence decreasing the distance between the moon and the planet is the scenario that would increase the gravity of the planet.
