Solution

The correct option is B False
  1. Weight of a body may be zero because it depends on the mass and gravitational acceleration(g).
  2. Weight(w)=Mass(m)×Gravitationalacceleration(g)
  3. At the center of the earth, the gravitational acceleration is 0 so multiply 0 with mass and any no. multiplied with 0 is 0 so weight can be 0.

Hence, the given statement is false.
