Solution

The correct option is A 10 kg
The moon is less massive and smaller than Earth, so the force of gravity on the objects on the moon's surface is less than on Earth. The gravity of the moon is around 1/6 of the gravity of the Earth. The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.6 meters per second. So, the weight on moon will be 1/6 of weight on earth.
It means Dingtu will be able to lift 10 kg weight on the moon.
