Solution

The correct option is A Mg newton
Weight is nothing but the gravitational force on an object which is caused by some celestial body. Heavier the celestial body more the gravitational force applied by it. So a body that has a mass of M kg on the earth will weigh Mg newton on earth, as g is the acceleration due to gravity on earth.
