c. it decreases to 1/4 of its original value.
Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two objects. Therefore, if the distance between two objects is doubled, the gravitational force between them decreases to 1/4 of its original value.

it decreases to 1/2 of its original value
b
it doubles
