The true statement about Newton's theory of universal gravitation is:
Gravitational force increases as the mass of objects increases.
According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. Therefore, as the mass of either object increases, the gravitational force between them also increases.
