    Answer: a. Quadruple

    Explanation:

    Gravitational force = Gm1m2/r^2

    (Where m1 is the mass of earth, m2 is my mass and r is the radius of earth and G is the gravity constant)

    Weight = m2g

    (Where g is the acceleration due to gravity)

    Gm1m2/r^2 = m2g

    Twice the masses

    F = G (2m1) (2m2) / r^2

    F = 4Gm1m2/r^2

    The gravitational force has increased 4 times, this means that my weight on earth will quadruple
