Picture IV because the objects have smaller mass and larger distance between them. Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the distance between the objects and directly proportional to the mass of the objects. In Picture IV, both the distance between the objects is larger and the mass of the objects is smaller, leading to a weaker gravitational force.
