Answer: B. Only the mass of the planet

Explanation:

the confusion on the concepts of mass and weight arises from the fact that the acceleration due to gravity is more or less constant in any place on the Earth's surface, thus the weight of an object is directly proportional to its mass. hope it helps <3
