(C) The gravitational force between two point masses is given by Newton's law of gravitation: $F = \frac{G m_1 m_2}{r^2}$.
This formula shows that the gravitational force depends only on the masses $(m_1, m_2)$ and the distance $(r)$ between them.
It does not depend on the medium present between the masses.
Therefore,when the masses are dipped in water while keeping the separation constant,the gravitational force remains unchanged.
