Answer:

B) is the force of gravity upon an object

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight is the force of gravity acting upon an object.

  • Weight is dependent upon the force of gravity acting on a body

It is mathematically expressed as;

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Mass is the amount of matter in a substance, it exists independently of gravity
