The answer is C.  

An object on the moon is six times lighter than on Earth.


The statement accurately describes the weight of an object on the moon is  An object on the moon is 1/6 times lighter than on Earth.

What is weight?

The weight is the product of mass of the object and acceleration due to gravity on the specific planet.

When the acceleration due to gravity is less, the weight measured will be less. The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s2, about a sixth that of Earth’s.

Thus, an object on the moon is 1/6 times lighter than on Earth.
