Solution

The correct option is B False
At the absence of air resistance, all the bodies fall at same rate and that rate is called acceleration due to gravity. If we do not consider air resistance the mass of the body and the surface area of the body, all the factors tend to null their effect on the rate of the falling of the object & hence, the statement is true.
