    Answer: The correct answer is : It happens that the mass remains the same but the weight decreases.

    Explanation: While the mass remains constant everywhere, the change in weight is due to the change occurred with gravity:

    g ' = g (1-2h / r)

    As there is upward movement, the weight decreases because gravity decreases. Weight is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the object and the center of the planet.
