Solution

The correct option is D. same acceleration
In vacuum, all freely falling bodies have the same acceleration i.e. acceleration due to gravity.
That's not the case when the body falls through the earth's atmosphere. This is because the force of buoyancy has an influence over light objects, reducing their acceleration.
