B) The 6 kg ball has a greater force of gravity exerted on it

Explanation:

The force of gravity on an object near the Earth's surface, also called weight of the object, is given by the equation

[tex]F=mg[/tex]

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

In this problem, we have two balls of mass 4 kg and 6 kg. From the equation above, we see that the force of gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the object. Therefore, since the value of g is equal for the two balls (they are both at the same location), this means that the force of gravity will be stronger for the ball with larger mass, therefore for the ball of 6 kg. So the correct statement is

B) The 6 kg ball has a greater force of gravity exerted on it.
