Solution

The correct option is A True
  1. The formula for the acceleration due to gravity is g=GMR2, where G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of earth and R is the radius of the earth.
  2. Hence, the acceleration due to gravity only depends on the mass of the earth and the radius of the earth and does not depend on the mass of the object.

Hence, the given statement is true.
