The correct statement is:

Gravitational force between two objects is determined by their masses and the distance between their centers.

This is based on Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
