**Understanding Gravitational Force**

Newton's law of universal gravitation describes the attractive force \( F \) between two masses \( M_1 \) and \( M_2 \) separated by a distance \( d \):

\[
F = G \frac{M_1M_2}{d^2}
\]

Where \( G \) is the gravitational constant.

**Problem Analysis**

What would the value of the gravitational force be in terms of \( F \) if the masses of \( M_1 \) and \( M_2 \) were both doubled?

**Answer Choices**

- A. \( \frac{1}{2} F \)
- B. \( 4 F \)
- C. \( 1 F \)
- D. \( 2 F \)
- E. \( \frac{1}{4} F \)
