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, the weight of a body is the force with which it is attracted towards the earth.

Mass m is a constant quantity and weight W=mg.
Since acceleration due to gravity g is different for different places, W changes from place to place.
