Answer would be :
2 objects both with mass of 20kg and distance of 10m
Because mass is greater than the rest and also distance is the shortest which means there will be a bigger gravitational force compared to the rest

The gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the distance between the two objects. hence the Gravitational force is given as
F = k (product of masses)/(distance)² where k = constant
when mass of each object = 10 kg , distance = 10 m
F = k (10 x 10)/(10)² = k
when mass of each object = 20 kg , distance = 10 m
F = k (20 x 20)/(10)² = k (400/100) = 4k
when mass of each object = 20 kg , distance = 15 m
F = k (20 x 20)/(15)² = (1.8) k
when mass of each object = 10 kg , distance = 15 m
F = k (10 x 10)/(15)² = (0.44) k
hence the force is greatest when
two objects, each with a mass of 20 kg, separated by a distance of 10 m
