Answer:The gravitational force equation is Fg=(G*M*m)/r² where, G is the gravitational constant, G=6.67*10^-11 m³/kg*s², M is the mass of Saturn, M=5.86*10^26, m is the mass of Titan, m=1.35*10^23 and r is the distance, r=1.19*10^6 km=1.19*10^9 m. Now we simply input the numbers into the equation:

Fg=(6.67*10^-11)*(5.86*10^26)*(1.35*10^23)/(1.19*10^6)²

Fg=(5.277*10^39)/(1.41*10^18)=3.743*10^21 N

The correct answer is the third one.
