Answer:

B. the acceleration of a skydiver depends upon the force of gravity and wind resistance

Explanation:

Newtons second law of motion states that: the force (F) acting upon an object is directly proportional to the mass (M) of the object and the acceleration (a).

Basically this law states that the acceleration of a body is dependent on the force and mass of the body. If the force exerted on the body changes the acceleration will also change. and if the mass of the body changes, the acceleration will also be affected

from the options, the only option that refers to acceleration is option B
