The answer is B) The mass of the probe remains the same, but the weight of the probe decreases

Brewer · Answer 2

There are no correct statements among the choices you gave us.

When the probe arrives on the surface of Mars, its mass is the same

as it was on Earth, and at every place along the way.

But its weight is (3.7/9.8) = 37.8% of what it weighed on Earth.
