B Correct answer
Explanation

G is numerically equal to the force of attraction between two unit mass, placed at a unit distance. It is denoted by G, the acceleration produced in the motion of body under the effect of gravity is called acceleration due to gravity. It is denoted by g, so it is the correct option.
