Which mathematical relationship best describes a graph of gravitational field strength versus distance? (one of the 3 pictures attached or none of the above?)

The gravitational force between two masses is proportional to
(mass-1) x (mass-2) / (the distance between them)-squared
Do you see (distance-squared) in the denominator there ?
That steers you straight to the function [ y proportional to 1/x² ] ... in the middle.

gravitationnal field between two objets = k.m1.m2/d² none of the above the graph is something like that

The graph of gravitational field strength versus distance is best described by an inverse square relationship, where gravitational field strength decreases as distance increases, mathematically represented as g ∝ r 2 1 ​ . This showcases that as you move further away from a mass, the strength of the gravitational field diminishes rapidly. Therefore, the correct option would likely reflect this inverse square behavior.
