The object that would experience the most air resistance when falling through the air is D. A parachute.

This is because a parachute is designed with a large surface area that creates significant drag as it falls, which is its primary function to slow down descent. The other objects, while experiencing air resistance as well, will face less drag compared to a fully opened parachute. A feather, flat piece of paper, and brick will experience differing amounts of air resistance based on their shapes and weights, but the parachute has the greatest capacity to generate air resistance due to its design.
