24P1Q11

11 A

\displaystyle \phi =-\frac{GM}{r}. So the “magnitude of gravitational potential” refers to the \displaystyle \frac{GM}{r} term. As r increases, this magnitude decreases.
From the curvature of the graph, it is clear that the difference between the gravitational potentials of P and Q also decreases as they move towards infinity.
