Correct answer: B. Slightly decreases
- A. Slightly increases

Weight decreases slightly below Earth's surface because only the mass lying above the object contributes no net inward gravitational pull, reducing the effective gravitational field. This differs from moving upward, where weight also decreases because the distance from Earth's centre increases.
