The correct conclusion in this case is:

**There is a negative correlation between mass and acceleration.**

This statement accurately reflects the inverse relationship between mass and acceleration when a constant net force is applied, as described by Newton's second law of motion (F = ma). As mass increases, acceleration decreases for the same force.
