The correct statement that explains why astronauts appear to bounce when they are walking on the moon is:
The force of gravity acting on the astronauts is weaker on the moon than on Earth.
The moon's gravitational force is about 1/6th that of Earth's, which causes astronauts to experience less gravitational pull and allows them to bounce as they walk.
