Answer:

Do not see a picture or graph but suspect it would show the golf ball falling faster and striking the ground slightly before the soccer ball.

Probably D: Soccer ball was affected by air resistance more than the golf ball.

Step-by-step explanation:

Even though heavier, friction loss of the greater surface area soccer ball will counter pull of gravity more than the compact golf ball.

In a vacuum, (no friction) both objects fall at the same rate regardless of mass.
