the difference is:
mass is the same anywhere in the universe, thus an objects mass never changes.
Weight is a product of gravity, you have heard, Astronauts weight less on the moon.
its B

Its mass x force
Our constant force for gravity here on earth 9.8 newtons for A level or 10 for GCSE level.
E.g.
So my mass is 90kg.
The constant is 10N.
90 x 10 = 900
So 900N is your weight.
(N - Newtons, the unit which weight (not mass) is measured in).
