In the distant future, a base has been constructed on the moon. Inside the base, a ball is dropped into a container of water.
Given that the acceleration due to gravity is about one-sixth the value on the Earth's surface, which of the following statements correctly describes the buoyant force on the ball?

a) The buoyant force is equal to 1/6 the weight of the displaced water.
b) The buoyant force is equal to 1/6 the weight of the ball.
c) The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced water.
d) The buoyant force is equal to 6 times the weight of the displaced water.
