B Correct answer
Explanation

Mass is an intrinsic property of matter and does not change with location. A 42 kg mass on Earth remains 42 kg on the Moon - only the weight (force of gravity acting on that mass) changes. Weight would be about 1/6th on the Moon (approximately 7 kg force), but mass stays constant at 42 kg.
