The correct response to why the textbook feels heavier than the pencil is:
The textbook has a stronger attraction to Earth.
This is because the textbook has a greater mass compared to the pencil, resulting in a stronger gravitational pull towards the Earth. Thus, it feels heavier. The other options do not accurately explain the difference in perceived weight.
