I would say 3:
As mass increases (weight x gravity), gravitational attraction increases (like Jupiter's effect on Earth Versus Mercury); furthermore, as distance decreases (like between two objects like the Earth and the moon), gravitational attraction decreases (
On a very small scale, Newton's formula on charges can illustrate this F=q1q2/4pie E (of the type of element)x r^2 (the radius of the atoms in question)

think about it. as something gains more mass, it will attract more mass toward it. (as mass increases, gravitational attraction increases) and as you get further away from that heavy object, you will feel pull from the object. (as distance increases, gravitational attraction decreases)
thus, #3 is your answer. break it down.

I am really not soooooo sure but I will go with the majority and what I originally thought and I will say 3. It seems the most logical.
