The correct response is: Air resistance on the object will eventually equal the force of gravity.
This phenomenon is known as terminal velocity. As an object falls, it accelerates due to gravity until the force of air resistance increases to the point where it equals the gravitational force acting on the object. At this point, the net force on the object becomes zero, and it stops accelerating, falling at a constant speed.
