© The parachute pulls the skydiver up.

© The parachute increases the force opposing gravity.

The correct answer is: © The parachute increases the force opposing gravity.

When a parachute opens, it creates a large surface area that increases air resistance (drag) against the downward pull of gravity, thereby slowing the skydiver's fall.
