Answer:

b. the smaller object

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's second law, when a force is applied to an object, it accelerates. This acceleration is proportional to the intensity of the applied force and is inversely proportional to the mass that moves. Therefore, the lower the mass, the greater the acceleration.
