Solution

The correct option is B Earth has greater pull than Moon
We know that the value of g on moon is 1/6 times than that of earth. Hence force acting on mass m is mg is also 1/6 times that that of earth. As pull is greater on earth than moon, it is easier to walk on earth than moon due to greater gravitational force.
