Answer:

B. His mass

Step-by-step explanation:

Weigh is defined as the force experienced by an object due to the gravitational pull. This gravitational pull is different at different places while the mass of the object remains unchanged. For example; a body with mass 60 kg on earth would wrongly show 10 kg on moon. This change is not the change in mass but its the change in weight as the gravitational pull on moon is much less than the earth.

Weight is given as product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.


W=mg[/tex</strong>]</p><p><strong>where [tex]m represents mass and
g represents the acceleration due to gravity.

Therefore we can say that,

Jermaine's weight depends on his mass.
