Final answer:

On the Moon, your weight would decrease due to the lower gravitational force, but your mass remains unchanged.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to go to the Moon, the force of gravity on the surface is much less than that of Earth. This difference means that while your mass remains constant no matter where you are in the universe, your weight would decrease because it is dependent on the local gravitational pull. So, the correct answer to what would happen if you went to the Moon is B. Your weight would decrease.
