b
It should be (b), because if the speed of rotation increases, then the "centrifugal force" increases so the weight should decrease. In terms of forces it is possible the following argument: in the earth ecuador, the force over a body is, \[F=0=m g-m \omega^2 R\] But, if the rotational speed increases, the force is, \[F=m g-m \omega^2 R<0\] so its "apparent weight" should decrease.
that is why i answerd b
