The correct statement about gravitational mass is:

Gravitational acceleration is irrespective of mass.

This is because freely falling objects experience the same gravitational acceleration regardless of their mass; all objects fall at the same rate in a gravitational field when air resistance is negligible.

Therefore, the statement "Gravitational acceleration is irrespective of mass" is true.
