Actually, gravitational force itself accounts for the difference between mass and weight. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is constant, while weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object and can vary depending on the strength of gravity. This means that an object's mass would be the same on Earth, the Moon, or in space, but its weight would differ due to different gravitational accelerations. So the correct answer is d) gravitational force, not gravitational acceleration.
