Answer:

All of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion,


Force = Mass * Acceleration

If a certain force is applied on objects of different mass, the lighter object will travel farther and faster. All the options in the question have pairs where one object is lighter than other.

So, Jim can throw a tennis ball farther than a basketball. Jim can throw a can of soda farther than a liter bottle of soda and he can throw a chair farther than a couch.
