Answer:

D. Its weight will decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

It cannot be a or b since mass is the amount of matter in an object so when you move to someplace without gravity you did not get any additional body parts so the mass stays the same and therefore does not increase or decrease

But, weight does change if you go from one place with less gravity then another planet your weight will decrease.
