Explanation / Answer

c. No change in lb is observed

As lb or kg is unit of mass which is constant or does not depend upon location. "Mass is universal entity" It will not change unless a body gains or loses mass by itself only.

But Weight will differ from location to location as its a product of mass and gravitational acceleration. Gravitational acceleration changes value over change of location hence a person may loses or gains weight in Newton if travelled from Mexico to Helsinki hence "Weight is local entity."
