A Correct answer
Explanation

Mercury's gravitational force is approximately 0.38 times Earth's (about 3.7 m/s²), or 37-38% of Earth's gravity. This is very similar to Mars' gravity, as both planets are smaller and less massive than Earth. Despite being the smallest planet, Mercury's high density gives it gravity comparable to Mars.
