Answer:

d: none of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass of an elephant on the surface of moon will be the same as that on earth. Mass is function of quantity of matter a substance contains. Mass is universally the same.

Weight is expressed as the product of mass and gravity. The gravity on the surface of moon is one-sixth that of earth. Any matter will weigh more on earth compared to the lunar surface.
