"If the masses of the objects increase, then the force between them also increases."

Explanation: By Newton's law of gravitation, F = G m1 m2 / r^2, so gravitational force is directly proportional to each mass (increases with mass) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (so force decreases as distance increases). The other choices are incorrect for the reasons above.
