It really doesn't matter what mass the planets have, or whether they're equal, or whether they're planets. The farther apart two objects are, the less gravitational attraction there is between them.
As the distance increases, the gravitational force between them decreases.
So, the option with the largest distance is (A) 90 light yrs. And that's the answer !!
