The correct answer is found at either pole, as the weight of an object is greater when it is closer to the center of the Earth.😒

Hi team, I looked up the answer to this question online. Google says that weight is maximum at the poles and minimum at th equator. Please change the correct option from C to D. Thanks in advance.
