To determine which image shows objects exerting less gravitational force on each other, we would need to know specific details about the objects in each image, particularly their masses and the distance between them.

Gravitational force is determined by the formula:

\[ F = G \frac{{m_1 \cdot m_2}}{{r^2}} \]

where:

  • \( F \) is the gravitational force,
  • \( G \) is the gravitational constant,
  • \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) are the masses of the two objects, and
  • \( r \) is the distance between their centers.

Without seeing the images or having information on the masses of the objects and their distances, we cannot definitively conclude which one shows less gravitational force.

Therefore, the best response with the given information is:
