Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

If we ignore air resistance or friction, the balls would hit the ground at the same time. The question does not state whether or not there is air resistance.

If there was air resistance, ball A would hit the ground first.

Again, there is no information provided on whether is is air resistance or not, so there is not enough information.
