The correct response is:
Air resistance on the object will eventually equal the force of gravity.
This phenomenon is known as terminal velocity, where an object falling through a fluid (like air) will reach a constant speed when the force of air resistance equals the gravitational force acting on it, resulting in no further acceleration.
