The mass density of a solid sphere is $\rho$. The radius of the sphere is $R$. The gravitational field at a distance $r$ from the centre of the sphere inside it is:

  • A
    $\frac{4\pi G\rho r}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{4\pi G\rho r^2}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{4\pi G\rho R^3}{3r^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{\rho G R^3}{\pi r}$
