Which is true about the dependence of an object's weight upon its location in the universe?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. Because gravitational force is the magnitude of weight acting on an object's mass and weight varies in different places in the universe, both the gravitational force on an object and its mass also vary.

B. Because gravitational force is the magnitude of weight acting on an object and weight varies in different places in the universe, the gravitational force on an object also varies.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C. Because weight is the amount of matter in an object and gravitational force is indirectly proportional to weight, both gravity and weight vary in different places in the universe.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D. Because weight is the magnitude of gravitational force acting on an object and gravitational force varies in different places in the universe, the weight of an object also varies.

C Is what I think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mass almost never changes gravity, thus weight, depends on the presence of other massive bodies nearby

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So its D?
