A) They move slower

Gravity force is determined by mass and the size of the moon. Since the mass of the moon is significantly lower than the mass of Earth, it will pull objects slower. The only object that would fall faster on the moon than on earth is a sheet of paper since there is much, much less air resistance to affect its terminal velocity the way it does on the earth.
