Answer:

None of the above forces on air drag on him is equal to his weight

Explanation:

In the velocity-time graph,the gradient of the curve where it is flatten shows the parachutist reaches the terminal velocity when it reaches terminal velocity which means the parachutist reaches constant velocity or speed,indicating that the acceleration of free fall(g) is zero.And according to the resultant force formula weight - air drag= mass*acceleration. so when accelerate is zero,resultant force is zero. And hence the equation will be like this: weight= air drag
