The radii of two planets are respectively `R_1 and R_2` and their densities are respectively `rho_1 and rho_2`. The ratio of the accelerations due to gravity `(g_1//g_2)` at their surfaces is

A

`g_(1):g_(2)=(rho_(1))/(R_(1)^(2)):(rho_(2))/(R_(2)^(2))`

B

`g_(1):g_(2)=R_(1)R_(2):rho_(1)rho_(2)`

C

`g_(1):g_(2)=R_(1)rho_(2):R_(2)rho_(1)`

D

`g_(1):g_(2)=R_(1)rho_(1):R_(2)rho_(2)`
