To determine which hiker feels the least pull of gravity from Earth, we need to consider their distance from the center of the Earth. The gravitational force decreases with distance from the Earth's center.

If the hikers are at different elevations on the mountain, the one who is at the highest elevation (furthest from the center of the Earth) would feel the least pull of gravity.

In the context of your question, if we assume the picture shows the hikers at different heights, the hiker who is the highest up would be the one who feels the least pull of gravity.

Without seeing the picture, I can't identify which hiker that is, but if you know which hiker is at the highest elevation, that would be the correct answer.
