Correct Answer

C

Explanation

If the distance between two point charges is increased by a factor of four, the magnitude of the electrostatic force between them will decrease by a factor of sixteen. This is because the electrostatic force between two charges is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, according to Coulomb's law.
