An object with greater mass requires less force to move.
An object with greater mass requires less force to move.

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

A greater force will cause a greater increase in acceleration.
A greater force will cause a greater increase in acceleration.

An object with greater mass will react with a greater force.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

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

This part of Newton's second law explains that the force required to accelerate an object is directly proportional to its mass. Therefore, pushing a full cart (more mass) requires more force than pushing an empty cart (less mass).
