Solution
The correct option is
A
Weight, mass
Mass is the amount of matter occupied by a body.
It remains the same whether the object is on the earth, the moon or even in outer space.
On the other hand, t
he weight of a body is the force with which it is attracted towards the earth.
Mass
m
is a constant quantity and weight
W
=
m
g
.
Since acceleration due to gravity
g
is different for different places,
W
changes from place to place.
