i need the answer thats better than the other because two can be right but i need the one that is more right

None of the above. Mass is constant. Weight is dependent on the gravitational force.

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in a substance; weight is a measure of the force of gravity attracting the object to a planet. The mass of an object does not change (assuming the object does not gain or lose matter) from one planet to another; however the weight does change since different planets exert different gravitational forces on objects.
So, the answer here is d) since its mass on the Moon is equal to its mass on Mars and equal to its mass on Earth.

D. Mass is an inherent property of the object and will be the same on the moon, Mars, and Earth. Only WEIGHT changes with gravity.

The answer is D. Mass is not something that changes anywhere you go. If the mass of something is 1.3 g/ml on earth it is the same on the moon and on mars. Weight on the other hand does change. Something that ways 1,00 lbs on the moon would way more on mars and on earth.
Oh and question is this on your homework or something or did you ust set it up in a,b,c,d form to be easier on us?

D) None of the above.
Mass does not change -- it is a fundamental property of matter.
The WEIGHT of the elephant would change, due to the differing gravitational forces on Earth, the Moon, and Mars.

In everyday usage, mass is more commonly referred to as weight, but in physics and engineering, weight means the size of the gravitational pull on the object; that is, how heavy it is, measured in units of force. In everyday situations, the mass and weight of an object are directly proportional to each other, which usually makes it unproblematic to use the same word for both concepts. However, the distinction between mass and weight becomes important:
The moon's gravity is about 1/6 that of Earth's gravity.
If you want to figure out how much YOU would weigh on the moon, take YOUR weight and divide it by 6.
So the weight on moon is 113kg/6
=approximately 19 kg

The mass of everything in the universe is the same every where in the universe.
