A

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

B

That the gravitational mass and inertial mass are equal in an experimental result.

C

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

D

gravitational mass of a particle like proton can depend on the presence of neighbouring heavy objects but the inertial mass cannot.
