Answer:

2kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Whereas weight of an object depends on acceleration due to gravity, the mass remains constant because the number of atoms in an element remains constant. Therefore, despite the variation of acceleration due to gravity on moon and earth, the mass will remain 2 kg but tge weight will change.
