The statement that best explains why a paper airplane eventually falls to the ground is: "The unbalanced forces of air resistance and gravity slow the airplane and pull it down."
This is because gravity pulls the airplane downwards, and as it moves through the air, air resistance opposes its motion, which ultimately leads to a loss of speed and altitude until it falls.
