Answer:

B. The same on the moon.

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of an object is the ratio of the mass contained by the object to the volume occupied by that mass.

When the object is taken from the earth to anywhere in the universe, its mass remains constant. The dimensions of the object and hence its volume also remains constant anywhere in the universe.

Therefore, the density of the object will also remain the same as it depends upon the mass and the volume of the object.

So, the correct option is:

B. The same on the moon.
