I can’t see the diagram you mentioned. Could you either re‑attach the image or describe how the spheres are arranged in I, II, III and IV (their separations and whether their masses differ)?
Tip you can use to answer it yourself: gravitational force F = G m1 m2 / r^2, so for identical masses the diagram with the largest separation r has the least force. If masses differ, the configuration with the smallest product m1·m2 and/or the largest r gives the least force.
