Answer:
4.
Explanation:
the paths and velocities of Earth and the asteroid would bring them closer and closer anyway, so their distance decreases, and so the gravity effect gets stronger and stronger.
what that answer ignores: also a steady pull (or push) by a force leads to acceleration.
in this case the force itself gets in addition even stronger and stronger due to the decreasing distance.
