The correct response is:
The objects will fall at the same time because gravity will have the same effect on them.
In a vacuum, where there is no air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass. Both the hammer and feather will experience the same gravitational acceleration and thus will hit the ground at the same time when dropped from the same height.
