let the magnitude of electric field used is E...

magnitude of charge at moon and earth are qm & qe respectively....

at moon

              Eqm=mgm ..................1                      

 at earth

            Eqe=mge ..................2

balancing the gravitational force by electric force

dividing 1 and 2

        qm/qe=gm/ge ........

option d is correct
