Solution

The correct option is D $160 N$
The weight of an object on the ground is defined as a force by which the earth pull this object. In this given question, the gravitational force on an object is 160 N, which mean that the earth is pulling this object towards centre by a force of 160 N.
Hence the weight of object on the ground will be 160 N.
Option D.
