Answer 1

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object. If mass is increasing, the amount of matter is increasing.

Weight is the force of gravity acting on the amount of mass. An increase in mass causes an increase in weight, as weight is gravity times mass.
