Answer:

The correct option is not given here, which is

e) One quarter as much.

Explanation:

According to the newton's law of gravitation,

[tex]F=\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }[/tex]

So the gravitational force is inversely proportional to square of distance between the sun and planet. If a planet is twice as far from the sun at aphelion than at perihelion then the strength of the gravitational force at aphelion will be quarter the force at perihelion.
