If a feather and a baseball are dropped in the presence of air resistance, which ball will hit the ground first?

a
the feather
b
the baseball
c
they will hit at the same time

c) they will hit at the same time (assuming they are dropped from the same height). This is because although the feather experiences more air resistance than the baseball, gravity affects both objects equally regardless of their masses. Once both objects achieve terminal velocity (when the force of air resistance matches the force of gravity), they will fall at a constant speed and hit the ground at the same time.
