You're measuring how much matter is in something. How heavy something is depends where you weigh it - a 1kg mass on earth weights about 10N - the same mass on the moon would weigh only about 0.2N.
In general, we use the terms mass and weight as the same thing, because on earth you have a pretty constant gravitational pull; but scientists need to differentiate between the two, so it's worth getting your head round it.
Force = mass x acceleration. Weight it a force.

it's matter. i don't know why some ppl insist on density.
density is like, a property of the object. a measurement. not a quantity. density = mass/volume. go read wikipedia or something and get the facts right.

I believe the answer is matter, if you measure how heavy something is then your measuring its weight not mass

matter was the first thing that came into my mind when it said measuring mass
the question is quite confusing because when you measure how heavy an object it, it is weight.
it cannot be density because density is mass over volume.

The answer is matter. I'm in Chemistry and we already went over this.

Volume? Weight? Width? Matter?
