Answer: D. weight decreases and mass remains the same.
Reason: Mass is an intrinsic property and does not change with location. Weight = mg, and gravitational acceleration g decreases with altitude (g ∝ 1/(R+h)^2), so when you go from about −116 m to +3600 m g (and thus weight) becomes slightly smaller. The change is very small — fractional change ≈ 2Δh/R ≈ 2·3716/6.37×10^6 ≈ 1.17×10^−3, about a 0.12% decrease in weight.
