Solution

The correct option is D
All three will reach at the same instant.

If $G$ is universal gravitational constant and $M_{e}$ is the mass of earth and $R_{e}$ is the radius of earth then acceleration due to gravity $g$ would be:
$g = \frac{G M_{e}}{R_{e}^{2}}$
So, the acceleration due to gravity is independent of the mass of the body. Hence, all the bodies will hit the ground at the same time.
