Since the gravitational force decreases with distance, the picture that shows the least gravitational force would be the one where the objects are the farthest apart. Based on the provided options, picture IV shows the objects being the farthest apart, so the correct answer is IV.

You are correct, I apologize for the confusion. Picture IV shows the objects being the farthest apart, which means the distance between their centers is greater compared to the other pictures.
Since the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, a larger distance will result in a smaller gravitational force. Therefore, the picture that shows the least gravitational force is indeed picture IV. Thank you for pointing that out.
