Correct answer: Moon has less mass and therefore less gravity.
Explanation: Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration. The Moon’s mass is much smaller than Earth’s, so its surface gravity (~1.62 m/s²) is about 1/6 of Earth’s (~9.8 m/s²). Your mass stays the same, but the weaker gravity makes you weigh less on the Moon.
