The gravitational force between two objects, F, is given by the formula \(F=G\dfrac{m \times n}{r^2},\) where G is a constant, m and n are the masses of the two objects, and r is the distance between the two objects. The gravitational force between Asteroid A and Asteroid B is equal to 9, and the gravitational force between Asteroid A and Asteroid C is 6. If the distance between Asteroid A and Asteroid B is twice the distance between Asteroid A and Asteroid C, by what percent does the mass of Asteroid B exceed the mass of Asteroid C?

A. 50%
B. 200%
C. 300%
D. 500%
E. 600%
