Two rigid balls made from the different materials have different masses and diameters. You drop them both in a situation with air resistance, and they fall with the same acceleration.

What is the reason for this?
Air resistance is always zero when objects are dropped.
The force due to gravity is the same on each object.
None of these.
They actually do not fall with the same acceleration.
The inertia of both objects is the same.
The ratio of the net force to the mass must be the same in both cases.
