The weight of an object on a planet is directly related to the mass of that planet. Assuming the planets are similar in radius, the weight of an object will be proportional to the mass of the planet.

From the table:
- Planet W: 6.4 × 10^23 kg
- Planet X: 3.3 × 10^23 kg
- Planet Y: 59.7 × 10^23 kg
- Planet Z: 48.7 × 10^23 kg

Since planet Y has the highest mass (59.7 × 10^23 kg), an object would weigh the most on planet Y.

Therefore, the correct response is:

**on planet Y**
