Answer:

I believe the answer is A: Neveah's mass would stay the same but her weight would decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe its A because the moon has about 1/6 as much gravity as the Earth. So if anything, her weight would decrease, not increase like B., C., or D says. I hope this is helpful to anyone who reads it!!! ;)
