A Correct answer
Explanation

The time period of a simple pendulum is T = 2π√(L/g), where L is length and g is gravitational acceleration. The Moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity, so the denominator decreases, making T increase. The period does NOT depend on the mass of the pendulum bob.
