When the height of an object is reduced to 1/10, its volume will be reduced to 1/1000th of the original volume (10 x 10 x 10 = 1000). As the mass of an object is directly proportional to its volume, the weight of the incredible shrinking man will also be reduced by the same factor of 1/1000. Therefore, the correct answer is option C (0.001).
