The appropriate choice is C.

In physics, the law of gravity helps us understand how gravity varies with height. As altitude increases, so too does the experience of gravity. Changes in altitude also result in variations in weight, though these differences are not particularly significant. Consequently, weighing metals at different heights shows negligible variance as the impact of gravity remains constant across them.
