The correct statement is:
It takes longer to fall because it experiences greater air resistance.
The parachute has a larger surface area relative to its weight compared to the coin and hammer, which means it will experience more air resistance as it falls. This increased air resistance slows down the descent of the parachute, causing it to take longer to reach the ground compared to the coin and hammer.
