Solution

The correct option is B mass
Newton derived the laws of motion. According to the second law of motion for a given force, the acceleration of the object is inversely proportional to the mass of the object. Therefore, more the mass less is the acceleration and vice versa.
$a \propto \frac{1}{M}$
