The graph shows how the extension of a spring changes with the masses suspended from it when the spring is on planet X and when the spring is on planet Y. Which conclusion can be drawn from these graphs?

1. AIt is not possible to compare the gravitational field strengths on planets X and Y.
2. BThe gravitational field strength on planet X is equal to the gravitational field strength on planet Y.
3. CThe gravitational field strength on planet X is one third of the gravitational field strength on planet Y.
4. DThe gravitational field strength on planet X is three times the gravitational field strength on planet Y.
