• A. $12kg$
• B. $72kg$
• C. $2N$
• D. $2kg$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$12kg$

1. Mass is an intrinsic property.
2. We can define mass as the measure of the amount of matter in a body.
3. The SI unit of mass is kilogram $\left(kg\right)$.
4. The mass is constant everywhere.
5. The mass of an object on both the moon and earth is the same.
6. Thus, the mass of a body on the moon is also $12kg$.

Hence, option A is the answer.
