The correct statement is:
It takes longer to fall because it experiences greater air resistance.
The parachute has a large surface area compared to the coin and the hammer, which increases air resistance and slows down its descent. In contrast, the coin and the hammer, being denser and having less surface area relative to their mass, experience less air resistance and fall more quickly.
