B Correct answer
Explanation

Mars has approximately 38% of Earth's gravitational force (about 3.7 m/s² vs Earth's 9.8 m/s²). If Earth's gravity is 1, Mars' gravity is 0.38. This means a 100 kg person would feel like they weigh only 38 kg on Mars, which is still significantly more than on the moon.
