Badri makes the table below to review the factors that affect the electric force between objects.

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Factor} & \begin{tabular}{l}
Relationship to Strength \\
of Electric Force
\end{tabular} \\
\hline Distance & Indirect \\
\hline Mass & Direct \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

Which change will correct the error in Badri's table?

A. Changing "Direct" to "Indirect"
B. Changing "Indirect" to "Direct"
C. Changing "Distance" to "Amount of electric charge"
D. Changing "Mass" to "Amount of electric charge"

To correct the error in Badri's table, we need to focus on the factors that affect the electric force between objects according to Coulomb's Law.

Coulomb's Law states that the electric force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

In the table:
- Distance is correctly marked as "Indirect" because as the distance between two charges increases, the electric force decreases, showing an inverse relationship.
- Mass is incorrectly listed as a factor affecting the electric force. Mass does not affect electric force; instead, the correct factor should be the "Amount of electric charge."

Therefore, the correct change to fix the error in the table is:
changing "Mass" to "Amount of electric charge."

Thus, the correct answer is:
changing "Mass" to "Amount of electric charge."
