A

Inertial mass is a measure of difficulty of accelerating a body by an external force whereas the gravitational mass is relevant in determining the gravitational force on it by an external mass

B

That the gravitational mass and inertial mass are equal is an experimental result

C

That the acceleration due to gravity on the earth is the same for all bodies is due to the equality of gravitational mass and inertial mass

D
