Solution

The correct option is B False
Weight is the product of mass of the body and acceleration due to gravity
Now the value of g changes with the change in latitude, change in mass of planet, change in radius of the planet etc. and so does the weight of the body also changes
Thus the weight of the body doesn't remain constant throughout the universe

Hence the given statement is False and correct option is B
