Two stars of mass `m_1` and `m_2` are parts of a binary system. The radii of their orbits are `r_1` and `r_2` respectively. Measured from the C.M. of the system. The magnitude of gravitational force `m_1` exerts on `m_2` is

A

`(m_1 m_2 G)/(r_1 + r_2)^2`

B

`(m_1 G)/(r_1 + r_2)^2`

C

`(m_2 G)/(r_1 + r_2)^2`

D
