C) Mass measures amount of matter in an object and weight measures the force of gravity.
D) Mass measures volume and weight measures the force of gravity.

Answer:

C. Mass is independent of the force acting on the mass.

Weight depends on the gravitational force acting on the mass.

Example: A mass of 1 kg on the earth still has a mass of 1 kg on the moon;

whereas the weight of that mass on earth is 9.8 N and only 1/6 of that amount on the moon.
