Solution

The correct option is A True
  1. The mass of an artificial satellite is smaller compared to that of the moon, and hence, the force of gravity between the object and the artificial satellite can be neglected.
  2. Hence, the object experiences weightlessness inside the satellite.

So, the given statement is true.
