The correct response is: **gravity is the only force acting on them.**
In free fall, both the feather and the hammer are subjected to gravitational acceleration, and in a vacuum (where there is no air resistance), gravity is the only force acting on them. If there is air resistance, it would affect the feather more significantly than the hammer due to its lighter weight and larger surface area, but when considering free fall without air resistance, the statement holds true.
