Answer:

B. less

Explanation:

acceleration due to gravity on Earth, g = 9.8 m/s²

acceleration due to gravity on Moon, g = 1.6 m/s²

Given mass of the object as, m = 5 kg

Weight of an object is given as, W = mg

                                                         

Weight of the object on Earth, W = 5 x 9.8 = 49 N

Weight of the object on Moon, W = 5 x 1.6 = 8 N

Therefore, the object weighs less on the moon compared to its weight on Earth.

The correct option is "B. less"
