Correct option is C)

Consider a small element dx of the rod at a distance x  from the left end of the rod.
Mass of this small element is  
Distance of this small element from mass is  
Force on  m due to this small element is  
To get the total force on  the mass , we integrate   from to

So, the force on m due to homogeneous bas is
