Answer:

C. The object that has the smaller mass has the greater acceleration.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two objects in free fall are accelerated due to gravity.

According to Newton's second law, if two objects with different masses have same force, then object with light or smaller weight will fall with greater acceleration while the object with greater mass will fall with less acceleration.

Hence, the correct option is C.
