Answer:

D) all of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the given choices are correct definition of what weight of a substance implies.

Weight is the vertical force on a body due to the gravitational attraction or pull.

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Mass of a body is directly proportional to its weight and so also is the gravity.

Mass is the amount of matter within a substance.

Weight is the force of gravity exerted by a body on another or a surface.

The reason why the weight of a body changes from place to place is mainly due to the gravitational pull
