The correct statement is:
**The object's weight changes, but its mass stays the same.**
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and remains constant regardless of location. Weight, on the other hand, is the force exerted on that mass by gravity, which varies between locations such as Earth and the Moon due to differences in gravitational acceleration.
