The correct conclusion is:

**Increased mass results in reduced acceleration.**

This is supported by the data provided, which shows that as the mass of the rocket increases, the acceleration decreases. According to Newton's second law of motion (F = ma), for a constant force, an increase in mass results in a decrease in acceleration.
