According to the Law of Universal Gravitation, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass, and inversely proportional to the distance. In this problem, let's assume the celestial bodies to be restricted to the planets and the Sun. Since the distance is specified, the other factor would be the mass. Among all the celestial bodies, the Sun is the most massive. So, the Sun would cause the strongest gravitational pull to the satellite.

Tema [17]
A field is the description of a spatial region, the force exerted on objects by a field is a field force. 
gravitational force field: surrounds every material object, although only objects planet-sized or larger exert significant gravity.
electric force field: surrounds and affect electrical charges
magnetic force field: surround magnets and materials with electricity flowing through them. magnetic fields affect susceptible materials such as iron or other magnets.
