Answer 1

Based on the principles of physics, specifically Newton's second law of motion (F = ma), the correct conclusion is:

Increased mass results in reduced acceleration.

This conclusion is based on the understanding that for a given force, if the mass of the object increases, the acceleration will decrease because acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when the force is constant.
