11 Scientists and engineers are testing three different satellites orbiting Earth. The scientists are able to use sensors to determine the
gravitational force experienced by each satellite. Some of the data from each of the orbiting satellites is shown in the table below.

Which statement best summarizes the information given?
OA. The gravitational force exerted by Earth changes the mass of each of the satellites.
OB. The gravitational force on the satellite depends only on the distance from Earth at which it is traveling.
OC. The gravitational force exerted by Earth on the satellite depends on the satellite's mass.
OD
The satellite with the least amount of mass is able to exert greater gravitational force on Earth than the others.
