• A. Acceleration due to gravity in vacuum is same irrespective of the size and mass of the body
• B. Acceleration due to gravity in vacuum depends upon the mass of the body
• C. There is no acceleration due to gravity in vacuum
• D. In vacuum there is a resistance offered to the motion of the body and this resistance depends upon the mass of the body
