You shall use the equation for force given by the second Law of Newton, this is F = m*a, where F is the net force that acts over the object, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration that the object will acquire. From that equation you can find a = F/m, which means that a is direct proportional to F and invsersely related to m. So, small masses accelerate faster than large masses, and the answer is the option B. the small mass accelerates faster.
