by determining which person has the most volume, because they will have more gravitational pull

Answer 1

The correct response is:

by determining which person has the most mass, because they will have more gravitational pull.

This is because the force of gravity acting on an object is determined by its mass, according to the formula for gravitational force (F = m * g), where m is mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Therefore, the person with more mass will experience a greater gravitational pull.
