The one with the most mass
In this case, wrestler C weighs the most at 171 pounds, so wrestler C experiences the greatest force due to gravity.
The force due to gravity experienced by an object is determined by its mass. In this case, the mass of the wrestlers can be considered as their weights since they are measured in pounds.
To find the wrestler with the greatest force due to gravity, we need to compare their weights. Wrestler A weighs 170 pounds, Wrestler B weighs 168 pounds, Wrestler C weighs 171 pounds, and Wrestler D weighs 169 pounds.
Comparing these weights, we can see that Wrestler A weighs the most at 170 pounds. Therefore, Wrestler A experiences the greatest force due to gravity.
