B. The beach ball has more air.

The main reason a beach ball weighs less than a bowling ball is because the beach ball is filled with air, making it less dense than the solid material that makes up a bowling ball. Since weight is influenced by both mass and density, the beach ball's lower density contributes to its lower weight compared to a bowling ball.
