An object's weight depends on the force of gravity, but an object's mass does not. (A)

B  and  D  are false.  C  is absurd.

An object's weight depends on the force of gravity, but an object's mass does not.

The mass of an object is the quantity of stuff contained in that object. Mass is a scalar quantity, that is mass does not change with direction, it has only magnitude.

Weight = mg (N).

The weight of an object varies form place to place in the universe due to change in acceleration due to gravity. Weight is a vector quantity, that is, weight has both magnitude and direction. So weight depends on the force of gravity.

Thus, we can conclude that an object's weight depends on the force of gravity, but an object's mass does not.
