When you double the mass the acceleration
A
decreases by 1/2
B
doubles
C
triples
D
decreases by 1/3
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If the mass is doubled, then acceleration will be halved. If both the net force and the mass are doubled, the acceleration will be unchanged.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: If an object’s mass is halved its acceleration will be doubled as long as the force acting on the object remains constant.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mass and acceleration are inversely related, hence if the mass of the object increases, the acceleration of the body decreases and vice versa.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hence, if the mass of one object is doubled then the force between them also gets doubled.
