The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to understand the concept of mass and how it behaves in different gravitational fields. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Mass**: - Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. It is an intrinsic property of the body and does not change regardless of the object's location in the universe. 2. **Mass on Earth**: - Let’s denote the mass of the body on the surface of the Earth as \( M \). 3. **Mass on the Moon**: - When the same body is taken to the Moon, its mass does not change. This is because mass is not affected by the gravitational field of the celestial body it is on. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the mass of the same body on the Moon's surface is also \( M \). ### Final Answer: The mass of the body on the Moon's surface is \( M \). ---
