The correct response is:

A greater force is needed to move an object with a greater mass.

This explains why it is easier to push an empty cart than a full one: the empty cart has less mass, so it requires less force to accelerate it compared to the full cart, which has greater mass and thus requires more force to achieve the same acceleration.
